rget

This program is a download accelerator primarily inspired by huydx/hget. Essentially, I was bored one night and now here we are. Barring any bugs, rget should work on both Windows and Unix-like platforms.

Features

• [x] Downloads remote files using HTTP and HTTPS
• [ ] Downloads files using FTP
• [ ] Downloads files using Rsync
• [x] Saves incomplete downloads to be resumed later
• [ ] Verifies the integrity of file downloads
• [x] Uses multiple connections to potentially speed up downloads
• [x] Displays download progress using a progress bar
• [ ] Cleanly handles all known errors

In addition to incomplete features, because rget is in very early stages of development, there will likely be bugs (in fact, I know there are bugs). Please join me in squashing these bugs so we can all download files in peace.

Requirements

• A post-1.0 version of Rust (not sure which is the oldest that will work)
