Try these two:

wget -O kubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso
http://na.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/karmic/kubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso--2009-11-24

wget --restrict-file-names=windows
http://na.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/karmic/kubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso--2009-11-24

One of those should correctly get rid of the question mark character
in the filename. I am more confident in the first one....but I'm not
sure. You might try using another mirror that *doesn't* redirect five
times before giving you the actual file....
