Multiple simultaneous downloads using Wget?

Question

I\'m using wget to download website content, but wget downloads the files one by one.

How can I make wget download using 4 simultaneous connections?

Answer 1

use xargs to make wget working in multiple file in parallel

#!/bin/bash

mywget()
{
    wget "$1"
}

export -f mywget

# run wget in parallel using 8 thread/connection
xargs -P 8 -n 1 -I {} bash -c "mywget '{}'" < list_urls.txt

Aria2 options, The right way working with file smaller than 20mb

aria2c -k 2M -x 10 -s 10 [url]

-k 2M split file into 2mb chunk

-k or --min-split-size has default value of 20mb, if you not set this option and file under 20mb it will only run in single connection no matter what value of -x or -s
