Direct download links

Hi there,

is it just me, or when you try to download some file (lets say Joomla! itself for example) the link is like "http://developer.joomla.org/sf/frs/do/downloadFile/projects.joomla/frs.joomla_1_0.1_0_4/frs2532?dl=1".

This may work in a browser but when you try to use wget in a linux shell enviroment it just downloads a "`forbidden.html?dl=1'" file.

I know I may ask for too much but it would be nice for the link to work with wget as well, it saves people a lot of time when you want to install Joomla! in a shell enviroment.

Thanks,

afonic

Hi,

thanks for the reply and sorry for not searching.  ;)

Too bad this is no way to make this work though, I think I'll just host the file in one of my servers and leech it off there when I need it.  8)
