I tried quiet mode. No help. Using Ubuntu 20.04.

Why is that? Thx

Answer 1

Your wordlist file might have the wrong format.

It should contain only a list of dir names written in column because gobuster does the parsing of the specified file line-by-line, inserts the entire line content to the URI and makes a request. For example your worldlist file should look like this:

PDF
PRUEBA
PRUEBAS
Pages
People
Press
Privacy
PrivacyPolicy
Products
Projects
Prova
Provas
Pruebas
Publications

It seems that when you did the download of this file you've saved it with the entire HTML markup.
