You should have wget installed already. As long as you know the exact address of the file, simply type:

wget <file address>
eg. wget http://www.linode.com/images/linode_logo10.gif

That will download a copy of the file to your current directory.

If, for some reason, wget is not installed, typing apt-get install wget should do the trick (I believe it works on RH8 too :))
