That *is* the workaround :-)
'?' is an invalid character for filenames on FAT, FAT32, NTFS.
Instead of giving an error message like this:
"Cannot open killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=221"
wget actually tries to do what you want (i.e. download the file).

You can run wget on another platform (Linux, some Unix. etc).
The filesystems there usually don't have this restriction.
