No, if you use "sudo wget ...", the file is owned by root and writeable 
only by root. Therefore you used "sudo chmod ..." to make it writeable 
by the user. However if you use wget without sudo in the first place, 
the file is already owned and writeable by the user and no chmod is 
needed. Therefore I would suggest to replace the two commands above with 
this single command:

wget http://202.164.53.116/~amritpal/edit/kannel.conf
