title: Parallel wget in Bash
body: <p>I am getting a bunch of relatively small pages from a website and was wondering if I could somehow do it in parallel in Bash. Currently my code looks like this, but it takes a while to execute (I think what is slowing me down is the latency in the connection).</p>
  
  <pre><code>for i in {1..42}
  do
      wget "https://www.example.com/page$i.html"
  done
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have heard of using xargs, but I don't know anything about that and the man page is very confusing.  Any ideas? Is it even possible to do this in parallel? Is there another way I could go about attacking this?</p>
