pyaxel
Pyaxel version 0.1 released!
A CLI based download accelerator in Python that works seamlessly in networks that are behind proxy servers and for protocols like http and ftp.
Features present in pyaxel 0.1 are:
- Accelerated downloads: Files are divided into pieces and each piece is downloaded via a separate HTTP connection. This can significantly increase download speed if the server throttles individual connections.
- Persistent reconnection: If connections time out, they are retried repeatedly until that piece of the file is completely downloaded.
- Resumable downloads: Downloads can be stopped and resumed at a later time!
- Download speed limiting: The bandwidth taken up by the program can be limited so that it does not swallow up all your available bandwidth.
- Download progress indication: Indicates the progress of each connection and provides estimates of the time remaining to complete the download.
