Small suggestion: wget compatibility?

  1. 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?

  2. 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?
