A CLI app for downloading file concurrently.

Conget

Conget is a CLI app which is a concurrent file downloader that download the file data by splitting into several chunks and fetch the data asynchronously.

Install

Get the dependency with 'dep'

$ dep ensure

If you don't have dep installed, this app has only one dependency right now github.com/urfave/cli so you can just get it with

go get github.com/urfave/cli.

And run this

$ go install

If you have added go bin diretory to your $GOPATH, Just like this: PATH="$GOPATH/bin:$PATH" then you can just run conget command from anywhere on your terminal. Or you may have to move the compiled binary file from $GOPATH/bin to /usr/local/bin to run it globally.

Installing or running it without Go

Clone the repo or just get the conget file and run it like this ./conget or if you want to run it as global command just move the file to your /usr/local/bin.

Usage

$ conget -u http://example.com/example.mp4

The default concurrent number is set to 10 if no number is provided. To set the concurrent number provide the number with -c option. Ex: $ conget -c 12 -u http://example.com/example.mp4

Note It downloads the file in current directory where you run the command.
