Wget difference

[francis picabia <fpicabia@gmail.com>]

I often download packages to servers using wget and the "Direct Link" 

feature on the sourceforge projects.

For example, today, I downloaded scamp:

$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/scamp/scamp/scamp-5.6/scamp-5.6.tar.gz?r=&ts=1367500908&use_mirror=superb-dca3

On Redhat, this produces a file called scamp-5.6.tar.gz

On Debian, this produces a file called scamp-5.6.tar.gz?r=

Sometimes the resulting filename on Debian is much longer.

It can be easily fixed with the mv command, but it has me wondering,

why does the Debian version have this issue?
