With newer versions of wget for Windows or Linux, the command just downloads 
and saves the login page instead of the actual file to be downloaded.

Is there a way to make new versions of wget work like version 1.10.2 did?

See screenshot comparing  Windows 1.10.2 vs Linux 1.12 in debug mode

The only major difference I see in the two images is that Wget 1.10.* sends the username and password as Basic Auth by default. While Wget 1.12 waits for the server to request authorization. To send the authorization without having to wait for the server to ask, use the `--auth-no-challenge` switch to send basic credentials by default.
