bucket_dl

A multithreaded downloader with the purpose of faster downloads by splitting it into several requests, rebuilding the data client-side.

Features

• When possible, splits download into 'buckets', each using a new thread and request.
• Streams live download progress, ideal for visualising loading bars.
• Cancellation of downloads
• Retries failed buckets, creating a new thread/request up to x times.
• Supports pausing and resuming downloads at any time.
• Automatic pausing in the event of a crash.
• Actual tests

Usage

  let mut client = DownloadClient::init(&url, &file_path);

  if let Ok(_) = client.begin_download().await {
    let mut stream = client.progress_stream();
    while let Some(bucket_progress) = stream.next().await {...}

    match client.status() {
      DownloadStatus::Finished => {...},
      _ => {...}
    }

  }
