Which is great, if you actually want the file. If you just want to push 
the HTML -source to parserer, lynx -source might be handier. One might 
also be intrested of output of lynx -dump.

For example, to get the result numbers of Nordic lottery (Viking-Lotto):

lynx -source http://www.yle.fi/tekstitv/txt/P472_01.html|grep -i 
numero|cut -d ">" -f 4|cut -d " " -f 1

This gives you three lines. The first one has the actual numbers, second 
one has additional numbers and the last on is called lucky number. 
Really easy to handle furthermore :-).
