I have a direct link http://oocairo.naquadah.org/dist/oocairo-1.4.tar.bz2

And it's downloading fine throught chromium web browser. But

wget http://oocairo.naquadah.org/dist/oocairo-1.4.tar.bz2

isn't working. Why?

What does wget tell you when you try?

wget http://oocairo.naquadah.org/dist/oocairo-1.4.tar.bz2
--2012-05-07 18:44:44--  http://oocairo.naquadah.org/dist/oocairo-1.4.tar.bz2
Parsing oocairo.naquadah.org... 2a02:2178:2:4::174, 212.85.154.174
Connecting to oocairo.naquadah.org|2a02:2178:2:4::174|:80...

Whereupon it hangs.

Does it work if you try the following?

wget -4 http://oocairo.naquadah.org/dist/oocairo-1.4.tar.bz2

Yes, problem was in IPv6 using. Thanks!
But why wget decide to use it, considering I switch it off on my router?

If you're not on an ipv6 link, you could also tell wget to not try ipv6 lookups at all by adding the following to ~/.wgetrc

inet4_only = on
