Translateing windows script into linux

I have a script which on Windows used to update ipfilter dat file for utorrent. It looks like this:

@echo off
wget.exe -r --tries=3 http://emulepawcio.sourceforge.net/nieu … filter.dat -O ipfilter.dat

I would like to rewrite it into linux format and also add a line where the newly downloaded ipfilter.dat is being copied over an old file in /home/user/.utorrent

How should it look?

Have you tried reading wget man page?

Remove @echo off
Remove .exe

The rest is up to you...
