... and the progress meter is shown on your screen or is it gone?

I really can't see why this doesn't work. Would you be able to debug this a
little for us?

Are you saying that it works if you use a file with a single space in it, but
not with a double space?

Could it be that windows don't support that kind of file names?

I can't see that libcurl treats file names different, no matter what amount
of white spaces you use in the name!

No, and it is documented. The comma is a separator for several file names, as
when you want to include several files at once.

No worries, I didn't find them offensive and I know all about not having
english as native language...
