Looking a little closer at the output of 'wget -i links.txt' :

In links.txt each of the paths for any given file are concatenated (correct usage?) with a space character, and wget is trying to fetch the entire string. Does anyone know how to make wget use this file properly?
$ sed 's/%20/ /'

Each line in your links.txt is a list of different mirror urls for the same package separated by '%20'.
This should take the first link from every line and pass it to wget:
cat links.txt | sed -e 's/%20.*//' | xargs -n 1 wget
or alternatively:
sed -e 's/%20.*//' <links.txt >links1.txt
wget -i links1.txt
