When you use wget to retrieve data from the web, you will have to quote the address if it contains more than one CGI parameter (and the "&" character between parameters). Bash, as some other shells, reads the "&" ampersand as "run this command in background", even if it is amidst other character data. "?" could cause havoc with file name completion, but it mostly will not - who really keeps files with names like "http://www.digium.com/downloads/index.php..."; ? ;-) For those who regularly download files, they probably could write some small bash script that mimicks a browser in downloading the file. I personally do not like forced download redirections. At least on sf.net there is always a "direct link" which can be copy-pasted to a console - this is especially important when you need to download the file to a ssh-administered server, but the browser runs on your desktop machine.
