They will be downloaded serially... but u have options of continuing
download etc...

You can also try curl which is more feature rich than wget you can
download a series of files...

like http://tutorials/javatut1.html - http://tutorials/javatut100.html

using a single command like

curl http://tutorials/javatut[1-100].html -o javatut#1.html

It also supports ssl and cookies and what not !!

(you can even download from sites that don't allow hotlinking ! though I
think this can be achieved with wget too)
