In addition to the suggestions of Mark and Eric, there's the Perl LWP
command
GET that's usually setup when perl LWP is installed. I believe it's
installed
with perl these days.
GET http://someplace.com/somefile.mp3 > localfile.mp3
I think curl and wget will have the advantage of naming the local file for
you, which is quite convienient.
