I was sent a URL to a long series of characters at https://clicks.aweber.com/
which is a 75 minute video file. Going to that address permits watching it,
but I'd like to download the file and watch it using local software.
wget fails to download the file:
wget

Thanks for the suggestion. I wrapped the URL in double quotes and ran 'file'
on the downloaded result. It is an mp4 so I renamed it so it makes sense.

The problem is that bash interprets characters like & and ? to have
special meanings. Try putting the URL in quotes.
Wes,
Yep, quotes make the difference. I didn't pay attention to the string and
missed seeing this.
Much appreciated,
Rich
