mediafire-dl-cli 1.1.1

Robust MediaFire downloader with auto-resume, custom headers, retries, and bulk support.

mediafire-dl-cli

A robust MediaFire downloader with:

• ✅ Auto-resume — interrupted downloads pick up where they left off via HTTP Range requests + .part files
• ✅ Custom headers — pass any HTTP headers (cookies, auth, referer, …)
• ✅ Retries + back-off — configurable retry count with exponential back-off on transient errors
• ✅ Rich progress bar — speed (MB/s), ETA, percent, downloaded/total
• ✅ Bulk/parallel download — thread-pool with configurable worker count
• ✅ CLI — use straight from the terminal
• ✅ Callback hook — on_progress for GUI or logging integration

Install

Python API

Single file

from mediafire_dl_cli import Download

path = Download(
    url="https://www.mediafire.com/file/abc123/myarchive.zip",
    output="/home/user/downloads",   # optional, defaults to script dir
    filename="renamed.zip",          # optional
    headers={"Cookie": "session=xyz"},  # optional extra headers
    chunk_size=64 * 1024,            # 64 KB (default)
    retries=5,                       # HTTP-level retries (default 5)
    backoff=1.0,                     # exponential back-off factor
    show_progress=True,
    on_progress=lambda done, total: None,  # optional callback
)
print(f"Saved to {path}")

Auto-resume behaviour

If the download is interrupted (Ctrl-C, crash, network drop), a .part file is kept on disk.
Calling Download() again with the same arguments will automatically resume from the byte offset where it stopped — as long as the server supports Accept-Ranges.

If the server does not support range requests, a RangeNotSupportedError is raised.
Delete the .part file manually and start over in that case.

Bulk download

from mediafire_dl_cli import BulkDownload

urls = [
    "https://www.mediafire.com/file/abc/file1.zip",
    "https://www.mediafire.com/file/def/file2.zip",
    "https://www.mediafire.com/file/ghi/file3.zip",
]

results = BulkDownload(
    urls,
    output="/home/user/downloads",
    headers={"Referer": "https://example.com"},
    max_workers=3,   # parallel downloads
    retries=5,
    show_progress=True,
)

# results: {url: "/path/to/file" | Exception}
for url, result in results.items():
    if isinstance(result, Exception):
        print(f"FAILED  {url}: {result}")
    else:
        print(f"OK      {result}")

CLI Examples

Single file download

# Simple download to current directory
mediafire-dl-cli https://www.mediafire.com/file/abc123/video.mp4

# Download to specific directory with custom filename (filename inferred from URL if not provided)
mediafire-dl-cli https://www.mediafire.com/file/abc123/video.mp4 -o ~/Downloads

Bulk download (Parallel)

# Download multiple URLs using 5 parallel workers
mediafire-dl-cli url1 url2 url3 url4 url5 -w 5 -o ./my_collection

Advanced Usage

# Custom headers (useful for auth/sessions)
mediafire-dl-cli <url> -H "Cookie: session=abc" -H "User-Agent: MyDownloader/1.0"

# More retries for unstable connections (default is 5)
mediafire-dl-cli <url> -r 20

# Suppress progress bar (useful for cron jobs or logging)
mediafire-dl-cli <url> --no-progress

Exceptions

Exception	When
ScraperError	Download button not found / page unreachable
DownloadError	HTTP or I/O error during transfer
RangeNotSupportedError	Resume attempted but server rejects Range header

All inherit from MediaFireError for easy broad catching:

from mediafire_dl_cli.exceptions import MediaFireError
try:
    Download(url)
except MediaFireError as e:
    print(f"mediafire_dl_cli error: {e}")
