 If downloading is stopped, wget will try again a total of 20 times. After that it will stop. If you want to change the number of times it tries again, insert -t followed by the number of times you want it to try.

+==== Download More than One File ====
+To download more than one file, you can put more than one url after each other.
+For example, if you wanted to download tinycore_3.6.iso, install-tools.gz and network-tools.gz, you could use
+<code>cd /home/tc/dl

+==== Download a List of Files from the Same Directory ====
+You can download a list of files from the same directory.
+Let's say you want to download Xfe, all .dep files and all dependencies, and .mdt.txt files.
+Using the .dep files, make a list. Like this
+<code>xfe.tcz
+xfe.tcz.dep
+xfe.tcz.md5.txt
+fox.tcz
+fox.tcz.dep
+fox.tcz.md5.txt
+Xorg-7.5-lib.tcz
+Xorg-7.5-lib.tcz.md5.txt
+libxft.tcz
+libxft.tcz.dep
+libxft.tcz.md5.txt
+fontconfig.tcz
+fontconfig.tcz.dep
+fontconfig.tcz.md5.txt
+expat2.tcz
+expat2.tcz.md5.txt</code>
+Save this file in the same directory as you will be downloading to, in this example, it is /home/tc/dl. Let's say we name it xfe-files.txt. Then use
+<code>cd /home/tc/dl
+for I in `cat xfe-files.txt`; do wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/"$I"; done</code>
