make a plain text file. And put all the download URLs in that file, one URL per line.

then give:
$ wget -b -i filename.txt

-b option will put wget into background daemon mode and complete the downloads while you work with other things,.

Wild card in wget does work, but only with FTP and not with HTTP (due to HTTP's protocol limitations).
Try :
$ wget ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/.../mc/*i386*.deb
