Features

• Fast (multithreading & stuff)
• Ability to interrupt/resume (task mangement)

Install

$ go get github.com/abzcoding/hget
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/abzcoding/hget
$ make clean install

Binary file will be built at ./bin/hget, you can copy to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin and even alias wget hget to replace wget totally :P

Usage

hget [-n parallel] [-skip-tls false] [-rate bwRate] [-proxy proxy_server] [-file filename] [URL] # to download url, with n connections, and not skip tls certificate
hget - resume TaskName # to resume task
hget -proxy "127.0.0.1:12345" URL # to download using socks5 proxy
hget -proxy "http://sample-proxy.com:8080" URL # to download using http proxy
hget -file sample.txt # to download a list of urls
hget -n 4 -rate 100KB URL # to download using 4 threads & limited to 100KB per second

# real world example
hget -n 16 -rate 10MiB "https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/22.04.1/ubuntu-22.04-beta-live-server-amd64.iso"
# resuming a stopped download
hget -resume "ubuntu-22.04-beta-live-server-amd64.iso"
