    wget - Rename As Downloaded...

    Hi....

    I Am wgetting List Of URLs From A Text File, Using

    wget -i download.txt

    I Want To Rename Each File As Its Downloaded..
    Ordinarily,
    wget --output-document=1.jpg http:images2.example.com/file1.jpg

    Will Do The Job, It Will Rename file1.jpg to 1.jpg as its downloaded..


    But How I Do It When List Of URLs Are Feed Via A File....

    If I Construct My download.txt Like This

    --output-document=1.jpg http:images2.example.com/file1.jpg
    --output-document=2.jpg http:images2.example.com/file2.jpg
    --output-document=3.jpg http:images2.example.com/file3.jpg

    And I Run
    wget -i download.txt

    Then I Get This Error.
    Unsupported scheme
    No URLs found in download.txt

    So, The Question Is How Should I Construct My download.txt File So That Each File Is Renamed As Its Downloaded,

    Thanks

    write shell script which reads the download.txt; and runs loop for each url, with wget and put your options for download and rename.
