I am running a WGET comand manually and I would like to automate it.

this is the command:


I would like to automate this using a script.

Note:
I need to loop and load this command with every file I want to download:



I am aware that I can add -i to get the list of files (url) I want to download from a text file.
The reason I want to loop / load the cookie every time I want to download a file is that website requires the cookie else download will fail.
Another thing if download fails it should proceed to the next file.

Thanks in advance...

assuming you already have an url.txt file, you could use a simple while loop:

Wow thanks a lot man I think I will be very active in this forum.

Follow up question though. There are times when download fails wherein it hangs and stays on a specific url or file.
How do we skip that and proceed to the next file from the URL list (url.txt)

Thanks again...

set --timeout to a reasonable amount of seconds, and --tries to a number of attempts

Dude thanks a million it work perfectly I added:



and it did just what I needed and wanted
