A small shellscript to download multiple files on a list at once.

wget ( and maybe zsh )

make a file with urls separated with newline:

test.dls:

http://www.example.com/image01.jpg
http://www.example.com/image02.jpg
http://www.example.com/image03.jpg
http://www.example.com/image04.jpg

on the same directory type lsdl! Then, it will do three things:

1. make a directory named "test/"
2. download all the url in "test/"
3. move the test.dls underneath test/ and rename it to "receipt"

If you have different lists in the same folder, it downloads it all!

If you put the -c option, it switches to create mode to create list files.

If you connect to a pipe. it reads from it too.

You can add custom wget options to every download

lsdl -w ...

You can add a rate limit in seconds to sleep between each download

lsdl -s 1 # sleeps 1 second after each download

If you need cookie to access the resource, you can simply add a .cookie file to the same level as the .dls file, and lsdl will automatically include it.
