Ampersands are neutered just fine in double quotes as well:

Code:
$ wget -nv "http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=16109&d=1291329691"
13:27:52 URL:http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=16109&d=1291329691 [12750/12750] -> "attachment.php?attachmentid=16109&d=1291329691" [1]
I'll give wget -i a try, but putting the URLs in a file would be highly impractical...this script iterates through a list of URLs using cut.
-i can also be used to accept URLs fed to it via stdin, eg:

Code:
$ long-pipeline-using-cut | wget -i -
