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
• 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.
