You need to add the referer field in the headers of the HTTP request. With wget, you just need the --header arg :

wget http://www.icerts.com/images/logo.jpg --header "Referer: www.icerts.com"

And the result :

--2011-10-02 02:00:18--  http://www.icerts.com/images/logo.jpg

Wget 404 error also always happens if you want to download the pages from Wordpress-website by typing  wget -r http   somewebsite com   If this website is built using Wordpress you ll get such an error   ERROR 404  Not Found    There s no way to mirror Wordpress-website because the website content is stored in the database and wget is not able to grab  php files  That s why you get Wget 404 error   I know it s not this question s case  because Sam only wants to download a single picture  but it can be helpful for others

You will also get a 404 error if you are using ipv6 and the server only accepts ipv4   To use ipv4  make a request adding -4   wget -4 http   www php net get php-5 4 13 tar gz from this mirror
