Dear Ole, Thank you very much for your suggestions. The command you have suggested did not work for me (I suspect that @teams is not picking the variables as it should) ,i.e. system "parallel --eta -j+0 wget ftp://xxx.xx.xx/pub/${year}/{}${day}.txt ::: @teams"; This is the error message : Computers / CPU cores / Max jobs to run1:local / 4 / 3 Computer:jobs running/jobs completed/%of started jobs/Average seconds to complete/bin/bash: $'\302\240wget': command not found/bin/bash: $'\302\240wget': command not found/bin/bash: $'\302\240wget': command not foundETA: 0s 0left 0.00avg local:0/3/100%/0.3s
