## How to install?

Run this in your terminal to get the latest Downloader version:

```bash

curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/znck/downloader/master/install.sh | sudo -E bash

```

## How to use?

Downloader has simple command line interface.

```bash

downloader  [] []

```

Default chunk size is 128mb but you can change it by a line to your `.bashrc` file

```bash

echo "export downloader_chunk_size=10" > "$HOME/.bashrc" # This will set chunk size to 10mb.

```

Default output directory is `~/Downloads` and you change this too.

```bash

echo "export downloader_output_dir=$HOME/Documents" > "$HOME/.bashrc"

```

## Proxy settings

Downloader uses cURL to fetch chunks and cURL respects environment proxy variables.

```bash

echo "export http_proxy=http://:" > "$HOME/.bashrc"

echo "export https_proxy=https://:" > "$HOME/.bashrc"

# For authenticated proxies

echo "export http_proxy=http://:@:" > "$HOME/.bashrc"

echo "export https_proxy=https://:@:" > "$HOME/.bashrc"

```
