Hi,

I do know not much about the bash, but I know that it is a powerfull
thing. Is there a way how to download multiple files from a http source
of the format:

http://bla.edu/~foouser/1.html
http://bla.edu/~foouser/2.html
...
http://bla.edu/~foouser/100.html

for i in $(seq 100);do curl -O http://bla.edu/~foouser/$i.html;done

Thank you very much, works as expected :-) I will remember that!
Is there an advantage in using curl instead of wget??

Greets,
