what links use [] in them??
It could be that u need to escape the [] to do this put a \ infront of it like this:
Code:wget http://www.somesite.com/\[1\]

I'm using a lot of links with sq brackets in them, eg:
ftp://some.site.site/some.file[2,91GB].some.ext
and therefore i have to use wget ftp://some.site.site/some.file*2,91GB*.some.ext to get it
isn't there a way to disable the denoting or whatever?

for a filename like that, try:
Code:wget ftp://some.site.site/some.file\[2,91GB\].some.ext
