snatch
A simple, fast and interruptable download accelerator, written in Rust
(A special thanks to @fh-d for this awesome logo !)
Current features
- Simple: a command line tool to manage easily your downloads ;
- Fast: multithreading support.
NOTE: Snatch is on alpha version. This version runs well on remote contents with a length known before the download (with the content-length
header from the server response) - also, the Interruptable feature is not implemented yet.
Installation
- Install Rust and Cargo using rustup ;
- You can download two versions of Snatch :
- the latest build from crates.io:
cargo install snatch
; - the last commit version from Github:
cargo install --git https://github.com/derniercri/snatch.git --branch devel
;
- Enjoy !
