Having said all of that, you can more easily do the same thing with a shell

What if someone does not know Shell Script ?
Scripting is not a feature of Wget, Its a feature of Shell. I want to
add this feature to wget so that end users wont have to write script.
You can do it with one connection by piping the input file:
( for i in `seq 1 10`; do echo http://rahulprasad.com/pics/img$i.jpg;
done ) | wget -i -
Or if you are not concerned with portability:
for ((i=1; i<= 10 ; i++))
do
echo http://rahulprasad.com/pics/img$i.jpg
done | wget -i -
If you have bash 4 it's even easier:
wget http://rahulprasad.com/pics/img{1..10}.jpg
These tricks should be stored somewhere...
yes, I agree. we should inprove our wiki and add these tricks there.
