**Ad**: I'm currently developing a new date and time library [synchro](https://github.com/Code-Hex/synchro) for the modern era. please give it ⭐!!
## Description
Multi-Connection Download using parallel requests.
- Fast
- Resumable
- Cross-compiled (windows, linux, macOS)
This is an example to download [linux kernel](https://www.kernel.org/). It will be finished between 15s.
## Disclaimer
This program comes with no warranty. You must use this program at your own risk.
### Note
- Using a large number of connections to a single URL can lead to DOS attacks.
- The case is increasing that if you use multiple connections to 1 URL does not increase the download speed with the spread of CDNs.
- I recommend to use multiple mirrors simultaneously for faster downloads (And the number of connections is 1 for each).
## Installation
### Homebrew
$ brew install pget
### Go
$ go install github.com/Code-Hex/pget/cmd/pget@latest
## Synopsis
This example will be used 2 connections per URL.
$ pget -p 2 MIRROR1 MIRROR2 MIRROR3
If you have created such as this file
cat list.txt
MIRROR1
MIRROR2
MIRROR3
You can do this
cat list.txt | pget -p 2
## Options
```
Options:
-h, --help print usage and exit
-p, --procs the number of connections for a single URL (default 1)
-o, --output output file to
-t, --timeout timeout of checking request in seconds
-u, --user-agent identify as
-r, --referer identify as
--check-update check if there is update available
--trace display detail error messages
