Thanks to Derek on LLUG for this link that explains how Apple is trying to
prevent Linux users from using their site.

The wget user-agent command works.
wget -U QuickTime/13.3.7
http://movies.apple.com/movies/fox/avatar/avatar2009aug0820a-tsr_h1080p.mov

I changed the version number so anyone reading the logs will know I got them
back.

Derek has tried the Firefox work around for mplayer but with no luck so far.
Here is my twist on the mplayer command
mplayer -user-agent 'QuickTime/13.3.7 (qtver=13.3.7;os=Windows Sucks ass
Patch 35)' '
http://movies.apple.com/movies/sony_pictures/district9/district9-tlr1_720p.mov
'

And just so you know that is a real version of Windows, I have the box it
came in and is says that on the front in big black letters that I wrote with
a Sharpie pen.

It works so I am going to try to wrap it in a shell script and I will post
the script when I get it working.
