I hope I didn't offend. I assumed you didn't have a clue. Very rude of
me. Now that I know you have some skill I have a better solution at
bottom of post.

I didn't get it to work. I thought you had a password.

Maybe you could automate it from home with a script, and still use your
schools computer? You don't need to save the file on your schools
computer, but pass it straight through? Something like this may work..

ssh username@school wget --output-document=- \
http://prola.aps.org/pdf/PRL/v83/i13/p2541_1 > filename.pdf

This will ssh you into school, and run the given command in the sshell.
--output-document=- tells wget to save the file to standard output.
You direct your standard out to filename.pdf.


This could be put in a script.....
