[SOLVED] How to Make Wget Download like Firefox

When I access this file in Firefox I am presented with an mp3 file I can save (11072010pm.mp3): http://www.solachurch.com/sola-media?co … =2&media=0

When I download the same file with wget, it doesn't seem to know the file is actually called 11072010pm.mp3; instead it saves as "sola-media?controller=studylist&task=download&study=2&media=0"

wget "http://www.solachurch.com/sola-media?controller=studylist&task=download&study=2&media=0"

I've looked through the wget man page and can't seem to find an option to fix this. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make wget check to see what the real filename is?

Use the --content-disposition option.
