Command-line file downloader tool
### Usage
```sh
$ dl -u https://www.url.com/foo.ext
```
#### Installation on Mac/Linux
```bash
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thedevsaddam/dl/main/install.sh -o install.sh \
&& chmod +x install.sh \
&& ./install.sh \
&& rm install.sh

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thedevsaddam/dl/main/uninstall.sh -o uninstall.sh \
&& chmod +x uninstall.sh \
&& ./uninstall.sh \
&& rm uninstall.sh
```
#### Windows
**For windows download the binary and set environment variable so that you can access the binary from terminal**
**[Download Binary](https://github.com/thedevsaddam/dl/releases)**
### Download options
```sh
$ dl -u https://www.url.com/foo.ext
# or with concurrency
$ dl -u https://www.url.com/foo.ext -c 10
# with debug mode enabled (if you are curious!)
$ dl -u https://www.url.com/foo.ext -c 10 -d
# with custom output file name
$ dl -u https://www.url.com/foo.ext -c 10 -d -n bar.ext
```
### Configurations
**Setup destination directory**
```sh
# set current directory path as destination directory
$ dl config -p .
# or set other directory
$ dl config -p $HOME/Downloads
```
Note: If you have `destination` directory set then all files automatically will be saved there. If you want to override on the fly then use `-p .` flag to download in the current directory.
By default the `destination` directory value is empty that means the file will be downloaded in the current directory.
**Setup sub-directory/extensions**
Note: If `destination` directory is not set then the sub-directory/extensions will NOT WORK
```sh
# set sub-directory based on extensions
# this will create a "binary" diectory inside root directory.
# all downloads with .exe, .dmg extensions will be stored there
$ dl config -s "binary:.exe,.dmg"
```
**Setup concurrency**
```sh
# default concurrency is 5, you can set default value by passing -c flag in config
$ dl config -c 10
```
