Are you using busybox wget or GNU wget?

What exactly happens?

With GNU wget you can try --restrict-file-names=nocontrol

I think that wget http:// should never produce files with names with
accents, at least for most servers. wget ftp:// can create such files,
but as FTP provides no support for charset, wget saves them as they are
with no conversion and with no idea about charset.
