go-grab 🚀

A fast and powerful CLI file downloader for HTTP/HTTPS, inspired by wget, built in Go with cobra.

Supports parallel downloads, chunk-based downloading, and automatic output directory selection.

Commands

go-grab grab [URL]

As the name suggests grabs the file from the url provided

If the server accepts range requests and provides content-length the chunk can be specified with the -c --chunk-size flag, and chunked parallel download will be possible boosting the download speed. Otherwise file will be streamed, directly from the response body in small buffers to the file

Flags

• Custom output directory with -o --output Default is:

  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%/Downloads

  • Linux/Unix: $HOME/Downloads

• Chunk size -c --chunk-size in MB (default to 1MB)
