You can do it with one connection by piping the input file:

( for i in `seq 1 10`; do echo http://rahulprasad.com/pics/img$i.jpg;
done ) | wget -i -

Or if you are not concerned with portability:
for ((i=1; i <= 10 ; i++))
do
echo http://rahulprasad.com/pics/img$i.jpg
done | wget -i -


If you have bash 4 it's even easier:
wget  http://rahulprasad.com/pics/img{1..10}.jpg

These tricks should be stored somewhere...
