 +==== 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 
 +wget -c -t 80 http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/release/tinycore_3.6.iso \ 
 +http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/starterpacks/install-tools.gz \ 
 +http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/starterpacks/network-tools.gz</code> 
 + 
 +==== 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>
