  Tim,

  Looked up the man page for 'wget' & thought I had it sussed out but when I do the following it produces :-


  jlnlaurie at james:~$ wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cube/cube_2005_08_29_unix.tar.gz?use_mirror=super  -west
  --13:10:29--  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cube/cube_2005_08_29_unix.tar.gz?use_mirror=super-west
           => `cube_2005_08_29_unix.tar.gz?use_mirror=super-west.1'

  this simlty doesn't look right.

  Copied the address directly from the web site, I assume this is Ok.

  There must be something I have miss or done incorrectly,-  to be sure.
  Could you straighten me out as to the correct address format for 'wget'

  The 'Nexuiz' file is some 170mb long a bit large for dialup I would imagine, so I will get you to burn a
  CD with Cube & Nexuiz on it  


  Thanks,

  Laurie.

  What is your address so I can pickup the disk.
