# FastDownloader Download files from the internet with a simple command line interface. Will significantly speed up loading from sites that slow down single-threaded download speeds. Applicable to cdn of sites with pirated films, for example. ## Installation - Install [pipx](https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/installation/) - Run `pipx install git+https://github.com/kotikotprojects/FastDownloader` ## Usage Provide direct link to file as argument. ``` fastdl https://example.com/big_file.zip ``` Use `-h` or `--help` to see all options. ## Important Not all sites support adding a `Range` header, so if you get an error when loading - it’s impossible to speed it up, try using browser downloaders. For example, huggingface supports `Range` header, you can try it out. Notice that huggingface does not cut down the download speed, so this application most likely will not help if your Internet speed is low.
