If you are serious, you can alternately use aria2 https://aria2.github.io/ https://aria2.github.io/. Aria2 has been around for a long time and is quite robust and feature complete. It makes a compelling replacement for curl and wget.
- Jerry2 10y agoAnother accelerator is Axel [0]. While aria2 supports all kinds of protocols, Axel supports Axel HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS. Both are excellent and I've used aria2 for a very long time. [0] https://wilmer.gaa.st/main.php/axel.html https://wilmer.gaa.st/main.php/axel.html
- therein 10y agoI love axel. Whenever I have issues with video streaming due to the website having per client connection throttling, I extract the media src from the page and do axel -n 32 <url> and saturate my downlink (200mbit+).
- ReverseCold 10y agoI found out about this a week ago, super useful for downloading from multiple very slow mirrors at the same time.
- bjblazkowicz 10y agoAria2 can't manage recursive downloading. Wget can, but wget does not come with a multithreaded option. I'm still looking for something that can do both.
