Re: wget and sourceforge.net downloads

Not really. I've expressed this directly to SF and it seems to have fallen on def ears. You can use the -O option to wget to explicitly specify the filename that you want.
e.g.:
wget http://www.google.com/ -O google-home-page.html

I've noticed on one download using wget that sourceforge.net appends all
kinds of garbage to the right end of downloads from sourceforge.net.
With wget does any way exist to prevent sourceforge.net from doing this
and saving to the correct file name on the local system?  I downloaded
nvda_2012-3-1.exe from sourceforge.net and had to use an mv command to fix
the file name after the fact.  I copied everything in the file name up to
one character before the first question mark then moved what
sourceforge.net downloaded to that correct file name.
