I got this with lynx, after repairing the URL:
summer possum summer]$ wc -l <Apollo
    282

Here is the command:
lynx 'http://download.filepool.net/Download/Apollo+13.sfv?eclip=FQ72CVQE

Notes
1) My email client's broken up the URL
2) The whole URL is in single quotes (apostrophes) to prevent my shell 
from interpreting ampersands and things.
