wget input file and directory structure

Code:

start folder

|--zips

|  |--big

|  |  |--big1.zip

|  |  |--big2.zip

|  |--small

|  |  |--small1.zip

|  |  |--small2.zip

|--rars

|  |--big

|  |  |--big1.rar

|  |  |--big2.rar

|  |--small

|  |  |--small1.rar

|  |  |--small2.rar

Is this possible with wget?

Thanks!

Code:

wget -x -nH $link

should do the trick, where -x forces creation of directories and -nH don't create host directory, as www.mysite.com/.

Thanks! It works flawlessly.

I saw those options btw, but somehow I presumed they were only meant to be used with recursive downloading and not with an url list.

The -x option is not needed together with -r, since it is implicit in recursion, while the -nH option does its job even with recursion.
