README
# nugget
Minimalist command line downloader written in node, inspired by wget. HTTP GETs a file and streams it into a file in the current working directory. Specializes at downloading many files in parallel.
[](https://nodei.co/npm/nugget/)
[](https://travis-ci.org/maxogden/nugget)
## installation
```
npm install nugget -g
```
## usage
```
Usage: nugget [options]
-o, --output output filename
-d, --dir output parent directory
-c, --continue resume aborted download
-f, --force ignore response codes > 299
-s, --sockets concurrent socket limit (default infinity)
-q, --quiet disable logging
-t, --tmpfile write files to .tmp while downloading
--proxy specify a proxy to use
--no-strict-ssl disable strict SSL cehcking
```
### examples
```
nugget http://foo.com/bar.jpg
# downloads bar.jpg and stores it in the current directory
```
or
```
nugget http://foo.com/bar.jpg -O baz.jpg
# saves it as baz.jpg. you can also do lowercase -o
```
if you get a statusCode of 300 or greater nugget will stop. you can force it to stream the response into a file anyway by doing `nugget http://404link.com/file.html -f` or `--force` works too
you can also download multiple files, just pass multiple urls:
## options
The following options are recognized by nugget:
- `-o|-O|--out` - specify the filename to write to. this only works if you are downloading a single file
- `-d|--dir` - save files in a directory other than the current one.
- `-c|--continue` - resume downloads if a partially complete target file already exists. If the target file exists and is the same size as the remote file, nothing will be done.
- `-f|--force` - force the server response to be saved to the target file, even if it's a non-successful status code.
- `-s|--sockets` - default Infinity. specify the number of http sockets to use at once (this controls concurrency)
- `-q|--quiet` - disable logging
- `-t, --tmpfile` - write files to .tmp while downloading
- `--proxy` - specify a proxy to use
- `--no-strict-ssl` - disable strict ssl
