# 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.

## 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:

![download multiple](multiple.png)

## 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
