link to latest linux binary fails to download with wget

[h5gq3]

returns ERROR: HTTP 308 Permanent Redirect
wget should actually handle redirects but here fails for some reason

I hit this too, from amazon linux. I tried it again with an added --max-redirect=20, and it still didn't work. I also tried removing the --content-disposition argument, since the wget man page said that's experimental and buggy, but to no avail.

I tried curl -O https://install.urbit.org/linux64/latest, and it downloaded a file containing the text

Redirecting to https://github.com/urbit/urbit/releases/latest/download/linux64.tgz (308)

Maybe there are curl arguments to fix this, but at this point I just downloaded the file directly from github so I don't spend all day on this issue. I don't know why this redirect is causing so many problems. Considering we just point at github, though, maybe we should just use the github URL directly in the command we ask users to run.

curl -JLO https://urbit.org/install/linux64/latest should work
