    How do I use WGet to pull a url with a &?
    WGet pulls the url, but stops at the & sign.

    Did you try quoting the string? The 'problem' isn't wget, but your shell.
    /usr/bin/wget "http://www.foo.bar/lalala.php?awesome=true&keke=happy"

    Are you using this from the SSH or from your hosts control panel?

    if nothing else helps - try replacing
    &
    with
    &

    in your URLs
    i use wget often on server to directly download SW ( logged in via ssh ) and never had such problem
