mamba: wget: Micromamba Download link is corrupted

After a look to the wget man-page I found another option:

wget --remote-encoding=utf-8 -O /dev/null https://micromamba.snakepit.net/api/micromamba/linux-64/latest

This may be another option to get rid of the conversion.

Eventually the download server that generates the s3-download-links should report the correct encoding in its response, so that users won’t need to override it manually.

I found the solution for me: wget --no-iri -qO- https://micromamba.snakepit.net/api/micromamba/linux-64/latest | tar -xvj bin/micromamba

The --no-iri option disables the uri-conversion as a side-effect and the download works again.

replicable in a debian container on my machine. curl the url has the same error

bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
	perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.
bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device
	Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.
