no, there is no such a way but I think that it is easily scriptable
along these lines:

cat $(FILE) | while read i; do wget $i -O $(basename $i); done

(probably "basename" is not the best choice here, but it helpful to my
example)

In future, please send such support requests to address@hidden
instead, you have the opportunity to reach a bigger audience and the
discussion can be useful to other people as well.

Cheers,
