I believe it's being rejected because it doesn't end in a suffix that's in your --accept list; it's a PDF file, but its URL doesn't end in .pdf. It does use Content-Disposition to specify a filename, but the release version of Wget doesn't acknowledge those. If you use the current development version of Wget, and specify "-e content_disposition=on", it will download. If you're willing to try that, you'll need to look at http://wget.addictivecode.org/RepositoryAccess for information on how to get the current development version of Wget (you should use the 1.11 repository, not mainline), and special building requirements. - -- HTHm Micah J.
