OK ... That was indeed my brain cramp. Thanks for humoring ... And helping me out ;-)

You're wget'ing from a mirror page. If you follow those links, aka in browser, until you get to the essentially "final link" that points to the actual file on sourceforge's servers, you can then copy paste that into a terminal and wget the file. The prdownloads is a link to a list of mirror sites that host the file, so what you're getting is the html file result of grabbing the mirror page. Try following that prdownloads link until you get to a page that prompts you to save a file, the one I used for instance to get the file was http://aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/clamav/clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz But it's totally up to you which mirror you want to get the file from. Hope that helps.
