[wplug] wget

[Chris]

I am not familiar with curl.  I can use wget if I specify the file name, so
I figured why wouldn't I be able to grab everything there.

Chris looks to me like you are using the wrong tool for the job. 
According to the man page, globbing only works with ftp.  This is
because http doesnt support wildcards (see your error below).  Why not
use something like curl instead?  It supports what you want to do.
