Package: busybox
Version: 0.47
Severity: wishlist

wget <URL> in busybox acts in an unexpected and surprising way: it 
outputs the URL to stdout.

wget <URL> using wget 1.5.3 puts the file in the current directory.

For example:

wget http://foo.com/myfile.lrp

In wget 1.5.3, this creates a file in the current directory called 
"myfile.lrp"; in busybox 0.47, it outputs myfile.lrp to standard out.
