Download multiple files with wget

Good day,

I like to use wget to directly download files with my lepotato. However, the proposed wget -i parameter seems not to be supported.
Is there a way, to download multiple files (preferably after each other, in some sort of queue) with wget or any other command with coreelec?

Thanks!

You can run several wget processes in parallel by adding & at the end of the command.
Like wget http://abc.com/whatever.zip & then make several such calls.
If you want to make the downloads sequential, you can try something like this:
wget http://abc.com/1.zip && wget http://abc.com/2.zip && wget http://abc.com/3.zip
One note is that the chain will break if a download fails.

Great, this works like a charm!

If it’s not critical that a download fails then one can use ; instead of && separators.
