I'd like to download a link like:
Now, I'm enough of a shell junkie to know what SCP does, but that's about where my geek-dom ends. So is there a shell program that lets me basically do an http get and pipe it through to a file?

wget http://example.org/file.mp3
(you might need to install it e.g. using Homebrew, MacPorts or Fink -- assuming you're still on Mac OS X)
Alternatively, you can use curl, which is standard on Mac OS X:
curl http://example.org/file.mp3 > local_filename.mp3

Wget and curl may be not installed on some Unix-like system's by default. But you also can use:
fetch http://example.org/file.mp3
it save response to the current directory with URL filename. To change see man fetch

@fakeit If you respond to comments by other users, let them know by writing @PrefixOfUsername in your comment, e.g. @Daniel, @Dan, @fakeit or @fake. This way, they get notified by SuperUser. @Beck is close, but doesn't work. – Daniel Beck – 2010-12-23T23:37:24.973
@Daniel Ah, thanks for the advice. So, won't everyone with "Daniel" in their prefix get notified too? Or is it smart and only looks for "Daniel's" that have answered / commented? – fakeit – 2010-12-23T23:42:56.543
1At most a single person is ever notified through this @-functionality (so no notifying 20 people by filling your comment with @'s), plus always the person you authored the post on which you comment (that's why you're notified about this comment without an @ to you). It looks backward in time in the same comment thread and takes the most recent matching user. If a "Dan" were to comment here, he and I would be competing for any
@Dannotifications by others,@Danielwould go to me though. The prefix must have 3 or more characters,@fawon't work. – Daniel Beck – 2010-12-23T23:47:33.730@Daniel Awesome. Thanks for all your help today. You rock. – fakeit – 2010-12-24T00:52:44.723
