How to only download files beginning with a certain range of numbers?
I'm trying to download files from a numbered list on a website. The list goes up to 6179 items, but I want to start the download from item 4852.
I've tried the command:
wget -m -np -c -A "*[4852-6179]*" "WEBSITE"
However that starts the download from item 1 for some reason.
The command:
wget -m -np -c -A "*485[2-9]*" "WEBSITE"
Works perfectly, but it only downloads files 4852-4859. How can I increase that range to 4852-6179?
linux terminal download wget

that starts the download from item 1 for some reason
The reason is [...] specifies possible characters, not numbers; and it matches a single character. It works with one-digit numbers because a single digit is a character. [4852-6179] is equivalent to [48523456179] equivalent to [123456789] equivalent to [1-9], it matches any digit but 0.
485[2-9]
Works perfectly, but it only downloads files 4852-4859. How can I increase that range to 4852-6179?
Using multiple patterns one by one is quite straightforward:
485[2-9] # 4852-4859
48[6-9][0-9] # 4860-4899
49[0-9][0-9] # 4900-4999
5[0-9][0-9][0-9] # 5000-5999
60[0-9][0-9] # 6000-6099
61[0-7][0-9] # 6100-6179
