you can do it by using curl .
The -O saves the file with the same name as in the url rather than dumping the output to stdout

Just to add more flavor to this question, I'd also recommend that you take a look at this:
history -d $((HISTCMD-1)) && echo '[PASSWORD]' | sudo -S shutdown now
You could use this to shutdown your computer after your
wget
command with a ;
perhaps or in a bash
script file.This would mean you don't have to stay awake at night and monitor until your download as (un)successfully run.

Well, this one seems quite simple, and it is. All you have to do to download a file to your server is:
Only there is one problem. What if you have a large file, like 100mb. Then, you will run out of memory, and not be able to download the file.
What I want is a way to write the file to the disk as I am downloading it. That way, I can download bigger files, without running into memory problems.

Since PHP 5.1.0,
file_put_contents()
supports writing piece-by-piece by passing a stream-handle as the $data
parameter:From the manual:
If data [that is the second argument] is a stream resource, the remaining buffer of that stream will be copied to the specified file. This is similar with using
stream_copy_to_stream()
.(Thanks Hakre.)

Try using cURL
I'm not sure but I believe with the
CURLOPT_FILE
option it writes as it pulls the data, ie. not buffered.Community♦
