wget - http://: Invalid host name.

Question

I'm using wget to automatically download the ShellEd extension for Eclipse, but am receiving an error:

http://: Invalid host name.

I have used it successfully several times before, so I think it's because SourceForge uses a mirror. I've looked at the man page for wget, focusing on referer and http_proxy, but am still unsuccessful. Here is my script:

dowloadFile="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/shelled/shelled/Shelled%201.0.4/shelled_1_0_4.zip?use_mirror=voxel"
wget "$downloadFile"

Thanks!

Answer 1

Is it dowloadFile or downloadFile ? There's a discrepancy there

Answer 2

I concur with pavium

$ wget  "$dowloadFile"
