You need to download the files one-by-one to rename all of them, otherwise, wget will rename them to the name you provide on the command as shown in the article.

Thanks for the Tutorial. I am using wget -i filename.txt to download all the images listed in text file, However there is one problem, In the end of images URL the pattern is something like this 1-foto-000.jpg?20180711125016 and the name of the saved file is 1-foto-000.jpg?20180711125016 How can I save the file name till .jpg and not after that ?
