Is it possible to download in parallel with wget?
I am downloading a bunch of files from a list, using wget, with this
wget -nc --input-file=list
The problem with this method is that it downloads files in sequence and takes a long time.
I know I can break the file into multiple smaller files and fire manually several commands. I ask if it is possible to do it automatically.
No, that’s not possible with wget.
You might try aria2c --input-file, which is much more advanced a command line program for downloading via HTTP.

Don’t do that manually. That’s what GNU parallel is for.
