Automated download script

Question

I'd like to run a script that reads a list of URL's from a file and downloads each URL one at a time. The script reads one line from my url list and invokes the command

aria2c -D &

completes 1st URL then goes to 2nd URL and so on till the end of the list. Help

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

To download from a script, use wget.

Answer 2

You should post this at www.rentacoder.com instead.

Answer 3

For things like this i use

wget -i file.ext

Edit: http://aria2.sourceforge.net/ is the website of aria2c. There are some nice examples like downloading all urls found in a file..

$ aria2c -i uris.txt

Before asking, consider doing a bit of research, a quick 'man aria2c' or 'aria2c --help' might give you the answer faster.

Answer 4

while read line
do
    aria2c -s 5 "$line"
done < fileurllist
