Bug description:Download links are not wget compatible

Description:
------------
I download the PHP release .tar.bz2 files from the php.net all the time
to do testing. 99% of the time I navigate to the download page on my
local machine, and copy and paste the URL in to a terminal on the server
I want to compile on. The download URLs look like this:
http://br1.php.net/get/php-5.3.29.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror which I then
feed to wget:

    $ wget http://br1.php.net/get/php-5.3.29.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror

Note that the file that gets written to disk is "mirror" and not
php-5.3.29.tar.bz2. It's a minor annoyance, but it seems really easily
fixed.

Test script:
---------------
N/A

Expected result:
----------------
When I wget a URL from a server, it should have the right file name. 

Actual result:
--------------
Wget uses the part of the URL after the last "/" as the output filename.
Arguably this is a bug in Wget, but it's also something we can easily
work around on the php-web side.

Someone already thought of this, because there is mention of wget style
download links in the code:

https://github.com/php/web-php/blob/master/error.php#L136

If we remap the filename in the download URL to be at the END, it should
solve this problem.
