Hello All,

Would it be possible to to provide a SIMPLE batch file example for Windows which covers
a. List of URLS in an external text file
b. Ability to save each list of urls into separate folder

While I understand there are FAQs, Readme, etc it would help if we can save such a simple example for the benefit of all.

Thanks.
