What is plowshare?

plowshare is a command-line (CLI) download/upload tool for popular file-sharing websites (aka Hosters). With plowshare, you will be able to download or upload files and manage remote folders and link deletion. It runs on Linux/BSD/Unix operating systems.

Examples

$ plowdown http://rapidshare.com/files/130403982/Bridge_Tutorial.rar
Bridge_Tutorial.rar

$ plowup mediafire dad_and_mum-open_the_door.mp3

Features

The basic concept is that files can be downloaded and uploaded though command line as easily as wget (or curl).

plowshare supports Rapidshare, Fileserve, 4Shared, Mediafire, Megashares, Hotfile, Depositfiles, Netload.in, Uploaded.to, and some others sharing sites.

Refer to README for more information.

plowshare is written in Bash, although some few modules need Perl to solve captchas.

Goals

• A small footprint (few shell scripts). No JAVA!
• Run fast on embedded device (ARM7 with 8mo of RAM with busybox for example)
• Portable
• Few dependencies
• Make modules (plugins) as simple as possible to script
