/tmp/slwns0y0.exe !!

[Olivier Gautherot]

Hi you! :-)

The error message says it all:although you're saving to your desktop, the file 
seems to be first received in /tmp (hence the file name). Try using wget 
directly and see if it makes a difference.

Regarding the .exe file, make sure the link you're trying to download is not a 
fake ISO image - eventually delivering a Windows executable ... but that pure 
speculation. If I may ask, what ISO image are you trying to download?

Cheerio
