How to get argv[0] in alias for bashrc

From: veg_all@xxxxxxxxx

any clues how i can get alias to accept the ARGV[0] which is the first
command line argument:

# .bashrc

alias transfer='wget "http://www.$ARGV[0]/temp/transfer.gz";';

When I run it I get:

--22:03:20-- http://www.%5C044argv%5B0%5D/temp/transfer.gz
=> `transfer.gz'
Resolving www.\044argv[0]... failed: Name or service not known.
