I have a list of about 6,000 direct links to images in an excel sheet, and I need to download them all automatically onto my computer into a directory keeping the same file names. How do I do this?

I receive an error in the command prompt.
'wget' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. – Nathaniel Hirschler – 2011-11-08T23:50:56.337
Did you do the second step above - you'll have to get wget.exe out of the zip you downloaded. – Paul – 2011-11-08T23:55:52.103
Complete package, except sources? – Nathaniel Hirschler – 2011-11-08T23:58:51.953
Okay. Figured that out. Now I'm getting something else. "Invalid URL : Unsupported scheme" – Nathaniel Hirschler – 2011-11-09T00:08:19.700
@NathanielHirschler - For you to be able to start wget from any directory, you would have to put it into a PATH env. variable. Since you need wget for this one time only, I thought it would be easier to skip that path, therefore putting wget directly into the target directory. Forget the link I gave. Here is another http://quadlasers.com/wp/?p=423 ... download the .rar package (click on the white "thing") and open it. You will get lots of files from the archive, but you need only wget.exe ... after you have it proceed as desribed.
