Download files using HTTP range transfers.
Note on performance: Downloading using ranges improves download performance but is network bound, not CPU bound. So depending on your network, you should set your own concurrency limit. The default is 2 * CPUs.
On my network, a 20MB file with curl downloads in ~20s. With a concurrency of 8, this goes down to 6-8s with pull.
Install via npm - npm install -g @karimsa/pull or use via npx npx @karimsa/pull.
$ pull "http://mydomain.com/large-file.zip"To see a help message, use pull --help.
