No, you cannot start wget from a specific file directly. wget is a command-line tool that is used to retrieve files from web servers. It requires a URL or a list of URLs as input to specify the files you want to download.

To download files using wget, you need to provide the URLs of the files you want to download. These URLs can be specified directly on the command line or through a text file containing a list of URLs. Here are a few examples:

  1. Download a single file:

    arduino
    wget https://example.com/file.txt
  2. Download multiple files specified in a text file:

    css
    wget -i urls.txt

    where urls.txt is a text file containing a list of URLs, each on a separate line.

So, instead of starting wget from a specific file, you would need to provide the URLs of the files you want to download to wget as input.
