[Paraview] Direct link to ParaView sources not working with wget

[Schlottke-Lakemper, Michael]

Hi Utkarsh,

Thanks for the quick fix! I still end up with a file named "download.php?submit=Download&version=v4.4&type=source&os=all&downloadFile=ParaView-v4.4.0-source.tar.gz” (and that can be fixed using "-O filename”), but at least the downloading works ;)

Regards,

Michael
