Download files from a list

Question

How can I download files (that are listed in a text file) using wget or some other automatic way?

Sample file list:
www.example.com/1.pdf
www.example.com/2.pdf

Answer 1

wget has a built-in flag for this: wget -i your_list You can find this kind of thing by reading man wget

Answer 2

awk '{print "http://" $0;}' list.txt | xargs -l1 wget

where list.txt is your list file

Answer 3

xargs -i wget 'http://{}'  < your_list

Answer 4

Wget is the best downloader I have ever seen.

You can either use some shell programming with loops to download files whose names follow a pattern like (1,2,3,...) or use wget features.

see this page on how to use wget for downloading files

Answer 5

with a for i loop starting with i=1

and

on your wget code.

You can do it in a single line.
