wget -O yourfilename zip remote-storage url theirfilename zip   will do the trick for you   Note    a  its a capital O    b  wget -O filename url will only work  Putting -O last will not

You would use the command Mechanical snail listed  Notice the uppercase O  Full command line to use could be   wget www examplesite com textfile txt --output-document newfile txt   or  wget www examplesite com textfile txt -O newfile txt   Hope that helps

Using CentOS Linux I found that the easiest syntax would be   wget  link  -O file ext   where  link  is the web address you want to save and  file ext  is the filename and extension of your choice

Also notice the order of parameters on the command line  At least on some systems  e g  CentOS nbsp 6    wget -O FILE URL   works  But   wget URL -O FILE   does not work
