fix wget "invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character"

2

Wget show me Can't write to ... (invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character) when i try to dump a website with Persian or Arabic characters in urls. Have wget any flag to fix this characters automatically?

Update:

I tried this command:

wget -E -H -k -K -p --restrict-file-names=windows --random-wait --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites http://site.tld

Reading wget's manual suggests that nocontrol rather than windows might work better. However, another question wget unicode filename errors indicates that it does not, due to a known problem with wget. So there may be no easy solution.
