[Feature Request] Recursive download

iamtakingithard opened this issue · comments

It would be awesome, to have recursive download in dlm.

Could you please describe what you mean concretely by recursive download?

Sure, by my idea you tell dlm to download specific site with all directories included (you can found this kind on r/opendirectories for example). And dlm will go and download all files off website. This is what I mean by recursive download.

Thanks for details, I understand what you mean now.

I believe it would make more sense to build a specialized tool that traverses recursively a directory structure while outputting in a file the links found on the way.

TBH I think such feature is rather orthogonal to dlm so I'd prefer to keep any crawling logic out of this downloading manager.

Closing for the time being as I have given my opinion about adding this feature.
