This script is one of my fav, am sure there is many times when you wish you could place things in queue & return and see all your files ready. Specially, if you are running a server remotely or if you not using any GUI. This script I usually run in case I have list of large files over the Internet and need to download them without having to set in front of the computer to submit each file.

First, you will need to get all the files in a text file (notepad) here is an e.g

http://kwtlinux.com/file1.zip
http://kwtlinux.com/file2.zip
http://kwtlinux.com/file3.zip
http://kwtlinux.com/file4.zip

Save the the text file an lets call it queue.txt, now you will need to write a small set of command to read from the file and begin downloading.


for i in `cat queue.txt` ## Will loop inside queue.txt and place each line as a value $i
do
wget $i ## wget will download the value $i
sleep 4
done

That's it!

Well, Its been while since I've lost posted anything and the reason is because I was facing troubles with my laptop. so, I finally decided to get a new laptop and because of my many many needs! I went with Apple PowerBook with Intel processor. Well, right now am in the process of installing Ubuntu as a Virtual Machine running on OS X & I got a very nice result on that VMWare Fusion is absolutely amazing.

Being the big Linux fan that I am, I was very excited when Moe told me about kwtlinux.com. This website is an excellent way for me to share my knowledge and experience with the local people, and in turn for me to learn something from them. Besides, Moe is my old college buddy and it's really great to work with someone as motivated as he is.

Since kwtlinux.com was created less than a month ago, it is no surprise that it lacks content. Please be assured that we are working on it, but for the time being, this blog is all we have. We will be adding more sections to the website very soon, so stay tuned!

I've been wanting to start a Linux/Unix site since college. Although, am a little ashamed that am starting a Linux community and I don't have Linux installed on any of my machines. Yet, am using Unix & Linux machines for at least 8 hours at work every day.

Am positive about all the talents we have here in Kuwait and in the middle east in general. I've worked with the brightest minds and it is something to be proud of.

I wish the community will start on the right foot and began its journey. The main goals and prospective are to support Linux users in Kuwait and be able to feed them with the latest news about Linux locally and internationally.

Finally, I would love to hear from the people if there is any suggestions. So, feel free to leave your comment..
