Tech.It.2.Me->{By.Anton.Perez}

I had to test our download servers at work right away, i.e., HTTP vs HTTPS, which required downloading a large number of files.  A file list was given to me to work with, like so:

/download/integrations/file1.exe
/download/us/update/patch/file1.exe
/download/us/cab/file1.exe

So I decided to use the bash shell to read each line and run wget quick and dirty.  Here’s the script:

cat c:\\test.txt | while read line; do wget “URL/${line}”; done

While running it I just used the Windows clock to get an approximate time difference.

That’s it!  Hope this helps.
