Usage
-----

Message-based CLI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

XDCC Packlists usually list xdcc commands in the folowing form:

::

/msg <BOTNAME> xdcc send #<PACKNUMBER>

By supplying this message as the ``-m`` parameter, the pack can be
downloaded.

**Examples:**

::

# This is the xdcc message: '/msg the_bot xdcc send #1'

# This command downloads pack 1 from the_bot
$ xdcc_dl -m "/msg the_bot xdcc send #1"

# It's possible to download a range of packs (1-10 in this case):
$ xdcc_dl -m "/msg the_bot xdcc send #1-10"

# Range stepping is also possible:
$ xdcc_dl -m "/msg the_bot xdcc send #1-10,10"
# (This will download packs 1,3,5,7,9)

# you can also specify the destination file or directory:
$ xdcc_dl -m "/msg the_bot xdcc send #1" -d /home/user/Downloads
# The destination defaults to your current working directory

# if the bot is on a different server than irc.rizon.net, a server
# has to be specified:
$ xdcc_dl -m "/msg the_bot xdcc send #1" --server irc.freenode.org

# You can also specify an IRC username. If none was supplied, a
# random string of numbers will be used instead
$ xdcc_dl -m "/msg the_bot xdcc send #1" --user Me

# To specify how verbose the program is, you can pass the
# verbosity parameter as a number between 0 and 6:
$ xdcc_dl -m "/msg the_bot xdcc send #1" --verbosity 3

GUI
~~~

By calling the program with the ``-g`` flag (or without arguments on
Windows) a graphical user interface is started. It offers searching for
packs using various web scrapers or adding packs manually like with the
CLI, adding these packs to a download queue and then downloading these
queued packs.

Similar to the GUI, a textual user interface can be used by calling the
program in conjunction with the ``-t`` flag.

As a library:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

xdcc-downloader is built to be used as a library for use in other
projects. To make use of the XDCC downloader in your application, you
will first need to create a list of
`XDCCPack <xdcc_dl/entitites/XDCCPack.py>`__ objects, either by hand or
by using the `PackSearcher <xdcc_dl/pack_searchers/PackSearcher.py>`__.

Once this list of XDCCPacks is created, use one of the following
classes:

- `XDCCDownloader <xdcc_dl/xdcc/XDCCDownloader.py>`__, if you can
guarantee that every pack is on the same server
- `MultipleServerDownloader <xdcc_dl/xdcc/MultipleServerDownloader>`__,
if the packs are on different IRC servers

Do not use any classes in ``xdcc_dl.xdcc.layers``, those all work in
tandem to create these two higher-level classes.

Both classes are initialized using the following parameters:

**user**: Either a string, or a `User <xdcc_dl/entitites/User.py>`__
object which specifies the username for connecting to the IRC network. A
random username can be generated when passing 'random' as the username

**logger**: Either pass an integer value between 0 and 6 to set the
verbosity, a `Logger <xdcc_dl/logging/Logger.py>`__ object or another
object of a class that implements all of Logger's methods.

Once initialized, start the XDCC downloads by passing the list of
XDCCPacks to the downloader's download() method.

A second optional Parameter is the progress. This parameter is an
instance of the `Progress <xdcc_dl/entitites/Progress.py>`__ class and
can be used to see the progress of the downloads from a different point
in the application
