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

uv tool install git+https://git.kotikot.com/open/fastdl

Usage

Provide direct link to file as argument.

fastdl https://example.com/big_file.zip

Multiple URLs are supported:

fastdl https://example.com/file1.zip https://example.com/file2.zip

Use -h or --help to see all options.

Important

Not all sites support adding a Range header. If a server doesn't support range requests, fastdl will automatically fall back to a single-stream download.
