I got to know what's going on. My urllist file was coming from Windows, so the line breaks are /r/n
However, when "parallel" read each line in urllist, the /n was striped, but /r was kept. In the end, the argument lists for each wget becomes, "wget url1\r url2\r url3\r" I don't know whether it's a bug, but I use dos2unix to preprocess each list. Thanks for your attention.
