dlman, a simple download manager frontend for wget

==================================================

This is simple, but complete and deployable Pycopy

(https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy) application for embedded Linux

systems.

The application, running as a daemon, watches a configured directory

for new files, each containing a URL of file to download. Once found,

URL is downloaded using wget with user-defined options. The idea is

that you will run dlman or NAS-like system, with input directory for

URLs and output directory for download files mounted over network

for easy access with your other computing devices and media players.

Basic error handling is implemented, for example after transient network

error, download will continue after pause, and yet permanent errors

should be detected and not lead to infinite download loops. All the

functionality above is very basic, and leaves much room for elaboration

and improvement.

dlman can be deployed to any embeded Linux system accessible via SSH and

which has Pycopy already installed.

To deploy the app, edit variables at the top of the Makefile and

application config (sample is provided as config.py.nas). And run

"make deploy". As first step of the process, dependency modules

(as specified in requirements.txt) will be downloaded from Python

packages repository, PyPI (https://pypi.python.org/).

To run dlman, start dlman.sh (it will log to dlman.log). To make it keep

running after you log out from target system, it should be run as

"nohup ./dlman.sh". Alternatively, dlman.sh can be run using startup

scripts during system boot (exact details depend on particular Linux

system used).

WARNING: Currently, dlman is not suitable for production use (for

example, it uses directory polling to find new files to download, and

it was found this may preclude disk drives to go into suspend state

on a real NAS system). So, currently it is mostly example of how to

deploy a Pycopy application. The functionality of dlman will be

elaborated as time permits.
