    Either through an oversight or to prevent people doing what you are
    trying to do. ;)

    If you have a list of the files, why not put them in a script?

list=(
          axxxx220k.rm
          bxxxx220k.rm
          cxxxx220k.rm
          dxxxx220k.rm
          .....
    )

for f in "${list[@]}"
do
    wget "http://ocw.mit.edu/ans7870/7/7.012/f04/video/$f"
done
