ftp will also work fine!

use 'anonymous' as your username and your e-mail address as your password.

Definitely cool, but I think he's talking about fetching a 
specific file. And for that, either wget or curl are the 
ware to go.

Usage (wget): 
wget 
http://www.someserver.com/path/to/file/filename.tar.gz

Usage (curl):
curl -O 
http://www.someserver.com/path/to/file/filename.tar.gz
