The filename does not fit on the page.  Copy/paste should not be a problem if 
you do two:

SOURCE="ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/mobile-broadband-provider-info/20110511/"
wget http://$SOURCE/mobile-broadband-provider-info-20110511.tar.bz2

There is a typo.  "ftp.gnome/org" should be "ftp.gnome.org"

I suppose we could do:

http://anduin/sources/BLFS/svn/m/mobile-broadband-provider-info-20110511.tar.bz2

Which is still 81 characters long, but will still fit on the page.

It's still pretty inconvenient to have a filename stem 39 characters long.
