this is the response i got back from Ángel González <[email protected]>

There's an option available for that: --trust-server-names

wget --trust-server-names 
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/webadmin/webmin/1.510/webmin_1.510-2_all.deb?use_mirror=kent
will give you the webmin_1.510-2_all.deb filename that you expect.
Note however that when using --trust-server-names a malicious server
could also provide you with a bad filename such as .profile which could
get executed automatically when downloaded in home.
