# gotake: high-speed file downloader
`gotake` is a CLI tool designed to expedite file downloading processes. Engineered for reliability and ease of use, it's compatible across Mac, Linux, and Windows platforms.
Under the hood, `gotake` employs either standard HTTP requests or range requests to fetch files, the latter enabling concurrent downloads of file chunks which are subsequently assembled to form the complete file.
## Install
Install `gotake` with a simple one-liner. Below are the instructions for macOS and Linux:
### macOS
```bash
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/simeonemanuilov/gotake/releases/download/0.5/gotake-darwin-x86_64" -o /usr/local/bin/gotake && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gotake
```
### Linux
```bash
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/simeonemanuilov/gotake/releases/download/0.5/gotake-linux-x86_64" -o /usr/local/bin/gotake && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gotake
```
## Examples
Launching a download is straightforward with `gotake`. Here are some examples to get you started:
### Quick download (auto find optimal connections amount)
```bash
gotake http://sample.li/face.png
```
### Download and print summary
```bash
gotake http://sample.li/boat.jpg -i
```
### Download in verbose mode
```bash
gotake http://sample.li/tesla.jpg -v
```
### Download with different type of connections
```bash
gotake http://sample.li/tesla.jpg -c=10 -a=False
```
## How it works
## Benchmarks
## Documentation
Check the documentation and available flags
```bash
gotake -h
```
## Flags
### -a, --auto (bool)
default: **True**
Choose the number of connections automatically, depending on the file size.
### -c, --connections (int)
default: **50**
Number of connections. You need to disable **auto** mode for using a specific number.
### -f, --filename (string)
default: **extracted from URL**
Define different name to the target file if you prefer.
### -i, --info (bool)
default: **False**
Print a summary for the download after finish.
### -s, --standard (bool)
default: **False**
Force the standard method of download (not using Range-Request).
### -v, --verbose (bool)
default: **False**
Show information about the current state of download process. Useful for debug.
### -h, --help
Print a documentation with all available flags.
