Code? CODE? That's top secret mate! ;) Ok let's have some fun. We were assuming bash. for u in `seq 12`; do wget http://somewhere/file$u.jpeg; done Much less syntactic sugar :), and assuming one can remember the for loop in bash (I take that as a given for anyone using the command line), one only has to remember seq. This gets files 1 to 12. Modify the seq for different numbers. seq -w2 12 puts a leading 0.
