Hello,
how can I use &'s in a url in a WGET-command?
For example:
http://www.test.com?name=bob&gender=male

Did you try "quotes"?

@SquashMan Yes, but it did not work.

Strange. I always put quotes around all my links when using WGET. Just tried one with an ampersand in it and it worked for me.

It will work. Try it again and show the command line here if it fails again.
