ranget

ranget

ranget (pronounced rang-et or range-et (I say the latter) or ran-jay if you're Frenchish, I suppose) is a CLI tool that fetches the --url-specified file over HTTP/S using the HTTP RANGE spec to download --size chunks of the file asynchonously using the --max number of workers. When not --debugging, there is a nice progress bar that also calculates the throughput of the workers. If the requested server does not support ranged requests, the file is downloaded "normally".

ranget is an example driver for rangetripper which you can use directly.
