How can I download a whole gallery of images using wget?

Question

There is a gallery in the format:

http:\\DOMAIN\file0001.jpg ⇒ http:\\DOMAIN\file0543.jpg

How can I download them all using wget?

How can I make it wait 2 seconds between downloads?

i'm using bash ver 3.2.

Answer 1

In bash:

for ((i=1; i<=500; i++)); do wget http://DOMAIN/file`printf "%04d" $i`.jpg; done

If you want to wait 2 seconds between downloads, add a sleep 2; before the done

Answer 2

Use ranges with {..}.

$ wget http://example.com/file{0001..0543}.jpg

The above answer works with zsh and bash version 4 and above. See the answer posted by @w00t if you're using an older version of bash (bash -version to check).
