Pget - The fastest file download client

Description

Multi-Connection Download using parallel requests.

• Fast
• Resumable
• Cross-compiled (windows, linux, macOS)

This is an example to download linux kernel. It will be finished between 15s.

Disclaimer

This program comes with no warranty. You must use this program at your own risk.

Note

• Using a large number of connections to a single URL can lead to DOS attacks.
• The case is increasing that if you use multiple connections to 1 URL does not increase the download speed with the spread of CDNs.
  • I recommend to use multiple mirrors simultaneously for faster downloads (And the number of connections is 1 for each).

Installation

Homebrew

$ brew install pget

Go

$ go install github.com/Code-Hex/pget/cmd/pget@latest

Synopsis

This example will be used 2 connections per URL.

$ pget -p 2 MIRROR1 MIRROR2 MIRROR3

If you have created such as this file

cat list.txt
MIRROR1
MIRROR2
MIRROR3

You can do this

cat list.txt | pget -p 2

Options

  Options:
  -h,  --help                   print usage and exit
  -p,  --procs <num>            the number of connections for a single URL (default 1)
  -o,  --output <filename>      output file to <filename>
  -t,  --timeout <seconds>      timeout of checking request in seconds
  -u,  --user-agent <agent>     identify as <agent>
  -r,  --referer <referer>      identify as <referer>
  --check-update                check if there is update available
  --trace                       display detail error messages
