Command line

❯ python src/pydownloader.py -h
usage: pydownloader.py [-h] [--url URL] [--file_name FILE_NAME] [--output_dir OUTPUT_DIR]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --url URL             Download URL
  --file_name FILE_NAME
                        Downloaded file name
  --output_dir OUTPUT_DIR
                        Download directory

For example, we want to download the github repo gitignore with url = 'https://github.com/github/gitignore/archive/refs/heads/master.zip' to the download folder with file name gitignore-master.zip:

❯ python src/pydownloader.py # run this line with all default settings

Downloading gitignore-master.zip...
Parts Number: 1
Downloading: gitignore-master.zip: 102656it [00:00, 191178.15it/s]
File MD5 Check: 9b178f9e5e12eb7c98262fa6d12b0962 # You can use the MD5 to verify the download.

If the file is already there, you will be asked to overwrite the file or not.

❯ python src/pydownloader.py # run this line with all default settings

Downloading gitignore-master.zip...
 ⛔️ download/gitignore-master.zip already exists, overwrite it?? (Y/N): y # y means overwrite it.
Downloading: gitignore-master.zip: 102656it [00:00, 154025.74it/s]
File MD5 Check: 9b178f9e5e12eb7c98262fa6d12b0962

Feel free to download other link, for example, let's download Google TensorFlow Repo, we can do:

❯ python src/pydownloader.py --url https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/archive/refs/heads/master.zip --file_name tensorflow-master.zip --output_dir download

Downloading tensorflow-master.zip...
Downloading: tensorflow-master.zip: 74670208it [00:20, 3610045.55it/s]
File MD5 Check: dcaba2148e899a87d8add27ec50fb960

Then we can find the zip files in our download folder.
