How do I access a link with wget written in the following form?

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/abiword/abiword-2.0.11.tar.gz?use_mirror=...

Just type it after wget and it'll download the file.

$ wget <the-long-url-here>

I've tried that, a whole bunch of times. It creates a subdirectory prdownloads.sourceforge.net with the following: robot.txt abiword/ and abiword/ contains abiword-2.0.11.tar.gz?mirror=mesh and it's not the right file. It's very short and am HTML file that lynx won't decode. I've tried every option in man and in the online manual. -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
