The content of your download (HTML) says why: Microsoft correctly assumes you 
to be an automated tool. You can try to look like a browser, e.g. use -U to 
set the User String to something like
-U "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/536.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) 
Chrome/20.0.1132.34 Safari/536.11"

Maybe this is not enough and you have to experiment (e.g. using --header 
option).
