Steal

A CLI tool for multipart downloading.

Motivation

Downloading large datasets and other resources in a server is slow 😴 using wget since it is a single-threaded downloader. So, I want to write a Rust CLI tool that can download multiple segments of a large file in parallel.

I am always happy to learn and collaborate with others 😀. Please feel free to open issues or reach out to me.

Installation

Installing with Cargo

Simply run

cargo install steal

Installing from Source

Clone my GitHub repository https://github.com/Isaac-Fate/steal.git
Navigate to steal directory
Run cargo install --path . to install it locally

git clone https://github.com/Isaac-Fate/steal.git
