How to download multiple files using wget. Lets say i have a urls.txt containing several urls and i want to save them automatically with a custom filename for each file. How to do this?
I tried downloading 1 by 1 with this format "wget -c url1 -O filename1" successfully and now i want to try do batch download.
You might take look at xargs command, you would need to prepare file with arguments for each wget call, lets say it is named download.txt and
-O file1.html https://www.example.com
-O file2.html https://www.duckduckgo.com
and then use it as follows
cat download.txt | xargs wget -c
which is equivalent to doing
wget -c -O file1.html https://www.example.com
wget -c -O file2.html https://www.duckduckgo.com
Add the input file and a loop:
for i in `cat urls.txt`; do wget $i -O filename-$i; done
