So you're asking us how to write a shell script that pulls URLs one at a time
from a file and pass that to curl?

for a in `cat file`; do
   curl -O $a
done

Or if you want to do it slightly more fancy to reduce the number of
connections:

for a in `cat file`; do
   b=`echo -O $a`
   c=" $b$c"
done
curl $c

Or is this a question if curl can do that on its own? If so, the answer is no
