Todds answer is perfect as long as the filenames to be downloaded are explicitly named.  However the image files that you are downloading are named based on a query string and are hashed with filename that is longer than the allowable character limit of a filename in Linux.  So the wget will fail. You need use the -O option which allows you to rename the file as you download it but it can only be used for a single file not recursively.

you could do this for a single file case:

$ wget -O new_image_name.jpg http://url-to-image-name

Normally the -r and -A options will add a numerical suffix if it encounters another file with the same name, however option -O turns suffixing off, so it is only good for one file at a time.  You could write a small bash script to handle it:

#!usr/env/bin/ bash 

while read -r image

  do

  output=`echo $image | cut -c 1-50`

  wget "${image}" -O "${output}"

done < ./images.txt

Todd.... I am so glad I asked the question. I wondered if there was a way to do the 'A' option. Now I know! So cool.

H0w can I us wget to retrieve the photos here. I tried:

wget -r http://the-book-of-gimp.blogspot.com/p/chapter-2-photograph-retouching.html

but it didn't download the pictures. It downloaded a bunch of web pages.
