Ubuntu – Wget Scheme Missing

You have to use apostrophes or double quotes around the URL, because it contains the special character &.

As this is annoyingly so common, there are various converters available - e.g. this site. You can use these to decode the URL - so it will convert this:

http%3A%2F%2Fdl.minitoons.ir%2Flongs%2FKhumba%20(2013)%20%5BEN%5D%20%5BBR-Rip%20720p%5D%20-%20%5Bwww.minitoons.ir%5D.rar

to:

http://dl.minitoons.ir/longs/Khumba (2013) [EN] [BR-Rip 720p] - [www.minitoons.ir].rar

It would be niCe to have a command line version though...

EDIT:

Found a command line version - basically:

echo "http%3A%2F%2F-REST-OF-URL" | sed -e's/%\([0-9A-F][0-9A-F]\)/\\\\\x\1/g' | xargs echo -e

This can be implemented in a script like this to decode the URL:

#!/bin/bash
echo "$@" | sed -e's/%\([0-9A-F][0-9A-F]\)/\\\\\x\1/g' | xargs echo -e
exit

which if saved and made executable, works quite nicely.

also this script, which will download the UL as well:

#!/bin/bash
echo "$@" | sed -e's/%\([0-9A-F][0-9A-F]\)/\\\\\x\1/g' | xargs echo -e | wget -c -i -
exit

N.B. I think the case the URL is in is not important for most sites - e.g. HTTP://WWW.UBUNTU.COM
