This had a caching system to avoid duplicate downloads. It was part of HackNova which was basically Facebook before Facebook came out. Anyway, probably easier to just run like:

wget -U 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT)' --refer 'http://www.villanova.edu/villanovaWeb/control/viewClassroom/SPR-2000-024' 'http://wildcardphotos.villanova.edu/servlet/ViewPhoto?mail=$EMAIL'
