Creating wait time using Wget

For downloading smaller files, enforcing a mandatory wait time between file downloads makes sure we don't overload the server with too many requests. Here, we will be using the built in option flag with wget to create a mandatory wait time (in seconds) between downloading each file stored in the URL list file.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Create a mandatory 1 second pause between downloading all files in url_list.txt.
