I don't know about Win2K, but Unix systems get a little silly when you
put "&" characters in a command without quoting them. Specifically, you
get very similar results to what you quoted:

    xxxx: command not found

So, just for grins, try it again with quotes around the url. That may
not fix it, but it would be kind of funny if it did - the Win2K "dos"
window emulating the Unix shell well enough to have the same problem
with "&"s...
