Small suggestion: wget compatibility?

    Hello! I recently purchased a license for Gravity Forms and am quite pleased with the product thus far, but I ran into one minor snag while installing: I'm not sure if it's because it's hosted on AWS or what, but I was unable to simply wget the installation onto my server from the download link. I vastly prefer this to having to download and re-upload something--everyone wins if it's a straight server-to-server transfer. Would it be possible to have something set up for future customers that could do transfers?

    I've been able to wget the download from AWS. It's saved with a weird name and no zip extension (due to all the additional characters), but it's still a zip archive and can be unzipped. You can also send wget the -O filename.zip option, to save it to an easily-found zipped archive. I ran it like this:

    wget -O gf.zip 'http://s3.amazonaws.com/gravityforms/releasesgravityforms_1.5.2.8.zip?AWSAccessKeyId=CJSG203B16770VCSBK66
&Expires=1310095018&Signature=%2BJlNkrkAxgQ%3DN%2F1234567n8C7kpF'

    [the strings are scrambled, and that is all one command line]

    I had to single quote the full url so the shell doesn't get confused. But it worked for me just fine. What happened when you tried it?
