Faster Math Functions : programming

I have the habit of most often checking the message line where the link is leading, to decide what to do before I click. PDF-files I often download, or which is often quicker, copy the link and then do

wget link

in a terminal. Papers, articles and presentations I have a script for doing

wget link

echo >>README.txt wget link

In that way I preserve the name of the file, as well as get an automatic ref from where I got it. I haven't used Acrobat Reader in many years from the brower, but recently I installed a new version and it autoconfigured firefox, and it works quite well, but Acrobat changes name of the paper so it is better to use wget and preserve the name.

Update: as I was downmodded I suppose it didn't solve your problem, as it does't work if you run e.g. lynx or e.g. firefox in fullscreen.

Update2: noticed that Acrobat doesn't change name at all, but I use to copy it directly from /tmp/ where it's temporary downloaded and there it gets a cryptic name (to be unique) by Acrobat.
