Re: Downloading a lot of files

(since TWTOWTDI can include shell utils ;) ) bash syntax (though less error handling, which could partially be fixed with a test of the filename and of $?; could also tweak wget's cmdline options, or use curl instead of wget, etc):

url='http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/os
+/Fedora/RPMS/'
for f in `cat upgrade.log`; do wget $url$f; done
[download]

But obviously LWP::Simple is cooler. :)

That way you lose the feature for persistent connections of wget. I use `wget -i upgrade.log` if I have a file or `open WGET, "\| wget -i -"` if I don't know the list of URLs beforehand.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
