Why don't you just run wget -i filelist? In fact, you do not even need |
| 22 |
to edit the filelist to remove duplicates; you can just use wget's -nc |
| 23 |
option. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So you can use wget -nc -i filelist |
| 26 |
or, if you want to do it in the background |
| 27 |
wget -nc -i filelist -b --progress=dot:mega |
