Single quotes around URL are your friend: wget -O outfilename 'very_long_url'

But I doubt that will work, as I expect Gmail requires some cookies to be set before download works. If there is a way you can inspect the cookies set by Gmail in your browser, then you should be able to mimic a browser call, setting the cookies with wget.

There are about 4 or 5 "&" signs in the url and they "break" the curl into small urls and it fails

Use curl instead

curl -C - -O 'very_long_url'

I am trying to download a large file sent to my gmail (nearly 20MB) and it
keeps breaking after about 8MB is down
wget does not work on the url. I would prefer to use wget as the link may
be the problem.
Any suggestions?
