[LRUG] Downloading images quickly

[Gerhard Lazu]

Joining this late, but you could easily do it via GNU parallel. On your
command line:

parallel wget :::
http://rubyonrails.org/images/pages/overview/screencasts2.png
http://rubyonrails.org/images/pages/overview/download32.png
http://rubyonrails.org/images/pages/documentation/awdr4.png

Yes, brew install parallel
