It means you don't have a shell alias or function named wget.  It also
means you've run wget at least once previously in the current interactive
shell, so that its location in the PATH list is cached.

OK.

By reading the error message extremely carefully.  Or possibly by
hex-dumping the command, extremely carefully.

This command got mangled.  I am guessing you ran "df -h | grep sda", and
this all looks fine, but it doesn't tell us anything about ~gene.

No idea.  You'd probably remember if you had set up user quotas, though.

Why don't you just show us the wget command and its error message so
we can stop guessing?
