wget indirect link downloading
 

I'm trying to download phpmyadmin from sourceforge => http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpm...r.bz2/download . I'm using the wget command followed by direct link from the page.
All I get is some irrelevant file that has nothing common with phpMyAdmin-3.3.9-all-languages.tar.bz2.
The direct link is for clients with web browsers that triger automatic download to user desktop, but I need to download the package to a server. What is the wget option to get the file from this kind of links?

Works fine for me.
Are you using the entire direct link that is posted on that page ?

how to dl from indirect links
 

Hi lamachine

you probably figured out how to do it by now, but if you haven't, I worte a cheatsheet on this a bit back at

http://www.neilpahl.com/cheatsheets/...-links-in-cli/

basically, you use your cli web browser to follow the indirect link to the download file. so, I use the w3m in command line:

commandLine$> w3m indirect_download_link

then hit enter to save to the current working directory as the default file name. then hit q to exit the browser.
