I think you're right, curl and wget don't support giving the file the correct file name. As a workaround, this line will give the server-suggested file name: curl -I $URL 2>/dev/null | sed 's/Content-\(Type\|disposition\):.*\< \(file\)\?name="\(.*\)".*$/\3/;ta;d;:a;q' You could then use: wget $URL -o "$(curl -I $URL 2>/dev/null | sed 's/Content-\(Type\| disposition\):.*\<\(file\)\?name="\(.*\)".*$/\3/;ta;d;:a;q')" -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
