The App Store has download accelerator that may help: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/download-shuttle-speed-boost/id847809913?mt=12 You most likely need to see if Firefox or Chrome has an extension, otherwise you will need to find a separate app.

Code: cd ~/Downloads curl -O url_to_file_to_download For example, to download the MacRumors logo from the top of the page: Code: curl -O 'https://cdn.macrumors.com/images-new/logo.png' Just put the commands into a text file and then can do from command line: source my_text_file_of_commands Or type it out manually on the command line: hit enter, enter the next, and will build a queue. Oh and: make sure you put the URL within quotes, otherwise might get some odd behavior.
