Use youtube-dl – even if you forget to put ?dl=1 at the end (or the link has dl=0), it does the right thing.

Why WGET? Use CURL = curl https://www.dropbox.com/sh/AAbbCCeeFF123?dl=1 -O -J -L will preserve the folder/filenames + follows redirects.

I used wget --no-check-cert https://dl.dropbox.com/s/mx9eqve5l2ipgyk/test.txt. That worked fine for me, but if you want to force a download, you might consider trying wget --no-check-cert 'https://dl.dropbox.com/s/mx9eqve5l2ipgyk/test.txt?dl=1' instead (note the ?dl=1 query parameter).

Using wget on your link retrieves test.txt (containing the 4 bytes "test") just fine on my side. Maybe something in your .wgetrc is causing this?
