wget from download section,...

[Selur]

I wanted to download https://www.videohelp.com/download/NeroAACCodec-1.5.4.zip from the download section to a linux machine of mine (which has no desktop environment, so shell only).
Problem is a simple:

wget https://www.videohelp.com/download/NeroAACCodec-1.5.4.zip

won't do since it's redirected and a referer is added, so something like

wget https://www.videohelp.com/download/NeroAACCodec-1.5.4.zip?r=12345678

has to be used.

-> Is it correct that this is intended and I should download the binaries on a machine with a normal browser and then copy it to my other linux machine?

wget --referer https://www.videohelp.com/download/NeroAACCodec-1.5.4.zip https://www.videohelp.com/download/NeroAACCodec-1.5.4.zip

I assume it is intended to disallow hotlinking from external sites (or e.g. some GUI author using videohelp as a download/update server ). I don't think they mind you downloading the occasional file to your Linux machine.

I didn't think is was to hinder me on Linux, just wanted to know whether this was intended or a bug.

Ps.: Thanks for the '--referer'
