Its more compicated, its a url, that is autogenerated on page load from
server. 
you have to parse the page, grab the url and wget it.

but you can hack python/perl/java script to do that. 

Ofcourse since it'll take about an hour work to do that - just donate your
hourly salary to a $RandomGoodCause :-)
