Installation

To install GSDM, you can use the go install command:

go install github.com/Hayoun01/gsdm@latest

CLI Usage

GSDM provides the following command-line options:

• -o: Specify the output filename for the downloaded file.
• -w: Number of goroutines for concurrent downloading (Default: 4).
• -v: Enable verbose mode to display detailed information during the download process.

Here's an example of how to use GSDM:

gsdm -o vid.mp4 -w 10 -v https://example.com/video.mp4

Note: that the args goes before the link since The flag package doesn't adhere to GNU parsing rules.

How it works?

GSDM follows RFC 7233, which defines the standard for HTTP range requests. This allows for efficient handling of partial content downloads, enabling features like resuming interrupted downloads and downloading files in chunks.
