Command line batch file downloader

download

download is a command line batch file downloader written in Go.

It provides a tiny section of what wget can do, but why read that huge man page when I can write my own progaram?

Given a list of urls, download will show which files have been found, their download size, and ask for confirmation.

Usage:

download -y -t pdf www.site.com/page/with/files.html www.anothersite.com/page/with/files.html

Flags:

• -t string. Specify file extension

  default: pdf

• -l bool. List files only. Overrides all bool flags

  default: false

• -y bool. Add to automatically download all files, ignoring user confirmation.

  default: false

TODO:

• concurrent downloads
• suggest file types found in page
• option to specify download directory
• option to create sub-directory for each URL
• install script
• want to handle URL endings, eg .html, .htm ...
• handle even when 0 urls provided with better feedback
• provide help, default for no args
• replace logs with errors
