## README

# nugget

Minimalist command line downloader written in node, inspired by wget. HTTP GETs a file and streams it into a file in the current working directory. Specializes at downloading many files in parallel.

## installation

```
npm install nugget -g
```

## usage

```
Usage: nugget <urls> [options]
  -o, --output     output filename
  -d, --dir        output parent directory
  -c, --continue   resume aborted download
  -f, --force      ignore response codes > 299
  -s, --sockets    concurrent socket limit (default infinity)
  -q, --quiet      disable logging
  -t, --tmpfile    write files to <name>.tmp while downloading
  --proxy          specify a proxy to use
  --no-strict-ssl  disable strict SSL cehcking
```

### examples

```
nugget http://foo.com/bar.jpg
# downloads bar.jpg and stores it in the current directory
```

or

```
nugget http://foo.com/bar.jpg -O baz.jpg
# saves it as baz.jpg. you can also do lowercase -o
```

if you get a statusCode of 300 or greater nugget will stop. you can force it to stream the response into a file anyway by doing `nugget http://404link.com/file.html -f` or `--force` works too

you can also download multiple files, just pass multiple urls:

![download multiple](multiple.png)

## options

The following options are recognized by nugget:

- `-o|-O|--out` - specify the filename to write to. this only works if you are downloading a single file
- `-d|--dir` - save files in a directory other than the current one.
- `-c|--continue` - resume downloads if a partially complete target file already exists. If the target file exists and is the same size as the remote file, nothing will be done.
- `-f|--force` - force the server response to be saved to the target file, even if it's a non-successful status code.
- `-s|--sockets` - default Infinity. specify the number of http sockets to use at once (this controls concurrency)
- `-q|--quiet` - disable logging
- `-t, --tmpfile` - write files to <name>.tmp while downloading
- `--proxy` - specify a proxy to use
- `--no-strict-ssl` - disable strict ssl
