Python Downloader Demo

Build a powerful python based downloader app.

Requirements

• python>=3.6
• requests
• tqdm
• retry
• hashlib
• multitasking
• signal
• gooey (GUI only / check the Github repo)

Example, create a test.py file with the following code to download the tensorflow git repo (about 76 MB) and the gitignore git repo (about 100KB)

The run function will return the md5 of the downloaded file for checking purposes.

from pySpeedDownloader import pydownloader

url = "https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/archive/refs/heads/master.zip"
file_name = "tensorflow-master.zip"
output_dir = "download/tf"

file_md5 = pydownloader.run(url, file_name, output_dir)
print(file_md5)

url = "https://github.com/github/gitignore/archive/refs/heads/master.zip"
file_name = "gitignore-master.zip"

output_dir = "download/gitignore"

file_md5 = pydownloader.run(url, file_name, output_dir)
print(file_md5)

Bash command window output will be like:

❯ python test.py
Downloading tensorflow-master.zip...
Downloading: tensorflow-master.zip: 76029696it [00:21, 3457111.70it/s]

If you re-run the code again, it will ask you if you want to overwrite the existing files.
