Bug#515713: mplayer: binary_codecs.sh install seems to fail when my ISP hijacks DNS errors

Hi Andrea,

It seems that the binary_codecs.sh script doesn't really cope well in
situations where the internet connection is being hijacked and diverting
to some unexpected place. I guess that adding some explicit -O commands
to the wget calls would be in order here. Could you please review this
bug and ideally revise your script? I'd happily push changes upstream
for you.

could you please
