    From the wget manual :

    Code:
     -i file
           --input-file=file
               Read URLs from file, in which case no URLs need to be on the command line.  If there are URLs both on the command line and in an
               input file, those on the command lines will be the first ones to be retrieved.  The file need not be an HTML document (but no harm
               if it is)---it is enough if the URLs are just listed sequentially.
    
               However, if you specify --force-html, the document will be regarded as html.  In that case you may have problems with relative
               links, which you can solve either by adding "<base href="url">" to the documents or by specifying --base=url on the command line.

    Thanks for your help, but I still don't get it. ;(

    Can you show me more specific detail ?

    Like there 2 links like http://1234.com/asdf.zip and http://1234.com/jkl.zip in http://localhost.com/test.html

    Then how do I use the command --input-file like you just showed me? Thanks

    It doesn't work for me. It just dl the .html file not the file in .html . It showed up on the screen is

    --force-html: No such file or directory
    No URLs found in --force-html.

    Are these files links on that html page?

    If they are, and in a lower or the same directory try this

    wget -r -np http://wwww.test.com/test1.html

    Take a look at the manual page.

    perhaps there are some security or privilege issues you are unaware of? Airnine
