Peter and Paulie, the problem is with the ‘wget’ command and the ‘-o’ option.
-o filename creates the logfile at filename
-O filename saves the download file to filename
Case sensitive switches. The original author needs to make this change to show -O instead of -o. The reason why the .1 file existed is because the filename was already created (logfile) and it appends the .1 .2 .3 .4 for identical filenames.
So the actual .deb download command if you want to create a logfile should look like this
wget -o Minecraft.log -O Minecraft.deb “URL” (being a new poster its not allowing me to post the href)
you can also eliminate the output and just watch the output stdout instead which would be
wget -O Minecraft.deb “URL”
At least this way you can see the progress of your download.
Hope this helps the 2 of you and others following the .deb download version of the author.
