I'm relatively new to UNIX. And when I try

----
$ wget http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lojban/message/1
----

I get following messages (a bit edited):

----
Connecting to groups.yahoo.com:80... connected!
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302

detected.

It seems Yahoo! Groups do some automatic authentication check and
when finished, redirect to the original url. And wget detects
cycle, and stops.

How to solve this problem?
