The wget command

Bulk download using wget

The other day, I had to make a bulk download of pdf files. This was most easily accomplished using wget command.

wget -P ~/ddhakal/ https://epaper.ekantipur.com/kathmandupost/download/2019-06-{10..30}

Here,

• -P: provides directory prefix for the downloaded file.
• {10..30}: in shell generates a sequence of numbers starting from 10 to 30 with an increment of 1.
