eepget1

Usage

Overview

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.
