I guess I have never really been clear about 'background'. This will
continue to run even when the I drop the connection that spawned it? I
seem to recall going to close a terminal window getting messages about
background tasks and if I want to kill them as part of closing the window.
Plus I have not figured out how to wildcard the wget for the FC CD
isos. When I tried this for FC13, the only thing (at least for a couple
of mirrors I tried) the only file really in the
.../fedora/releases/14/Fedora/i386/iso/ directory was the index.txt, so
this would mean 5 parallel wget tasks.
