dlrs
dlrs is a multi-protocol download tool for the command line. Written in Rust, dlrs
splits your downloads to speed them up where possible.
Features
- Split downloads: dlrs can split your download into multiple segments that are then pulled in parallel, dramatically speeding them up for hosts that limit download speeds per connection. This is the same technique used by tools such as IDM and XDM.
- Use multiple hosts: Downloading a file hosted by multiple speed-limiting hosts? dlrs can download the same file from multiple sources in parallel!
- Multiple protocols: dlrs supports HTTP/HTTPS and FTP/SFTP.
- Lightweight: Written in Rust, dlrs comes packaged in a single binary at __ MB.
- Remote Control (planned ) RPC interface to control a dlrs daemon. Can be used for remote automation and building graphical interfaces on top of dlrs.
Installation
While automated builds are planned, dlrs can be installed with cargo on any machine:
cargo install dlrs
Usage Examples
