...which isn't surprising, since you're only redirecting the output of
wget to your file, and not saving the image properly when you run
this:
wget -q
http://www.wizabit.eclipse.co.uk/xplanet/files/local/clouds_2000.jpg >
/usr/share/xplanet/images/clouds_2000.jpg
As Chris pointed out (albeit indirectly), you should be using this instead:
wget -q -O /usr/share/xplanet/images/clouds_2000.jpg
http://www.wizabit.eclipse.co.uk/xplanet/files/local/clouds_2000.jpg
(the "-O <filename>" option specifies the where to save the file you
downloaded... while using the ">" pipe will simply redirect the output
of wget to the file you've specified... which probably _isn't_ what
you want...)
