1) If it doesn't work in wget, you're doing something wrong. 2) You want the Perl LWP/Mechanize module. (Mechanize works on top of LWP and does much more than you need, but I like it ;) ) 3) Clicking the link in a borwser opens a webpage for me, not downloads a file. The download starts a bit later
