# eepget(1)

I2P downloader

## NAME

Eepget - I2P downloader

## SYNOPSIS

**eepget** \[*options*\]*URL*\

## DESCRIPTION

Download a file non-interactively via HTTP. Transfers through both I2P and the regular Internet are supported.

Eepget is able to cope with slow or unstable network connections; if a download is not successful because of a network problem, it will keep retrying until the whole file has been retrieved (if the -n option is set).  If supported by the remote server, eepget will instruct the server to continue the download from the point of interruption.

## OPTIONS

**-c**

- Clearnet. Do not use a proxy. Same as **-p** :0 .

  - **-e etag**

  - Sets the etag value in the request headers.

  - **-h name=value**

  - Adds an arbitrary request header with the given name and value.

  - **-l lineLen**

  - Controls the progress display. **lineLen** is the length of one progress line in characters. The default is 40.

  - **-m markSize**

  - Controls the progress display. **markSize** is the number of bytes one '#' character represents. The default is 1024.

  - **-n retries**

  - Specify the number of times to retry downloading if the download isn't successful. If this option is not specified, eepget will not retry.

  - **-o file**

  - Sets the output file to write to. If this option is not given, the output filename will be determined by the URL.

  - **-p proxy\_host\[:port\]**

  - Specify an I2P proxy server (eeproxy) to use. If the port is not specified, eepget will use 4444. If this option is not specified, eepget will use 127.0.0.1:4444. Specify **-c** or **-p** :0 to disable the eeproxy.

  - **-t seconds**

  - Sets the inactivity timeout. The default is 60 seconds.

  - **-u username**

  - Sets the username for proxy authorization, if required.

  - **-x password**

  - Sets the password for proxy authorization, if required. If a username is specified but not a password, EepGet will prompt for the password.

  ## EXIT STATUS

**eepget** exits with status zero upon successful transfer and non-zero if there were problems with the download.
