🚀 bwget - Better Wget bwget is a minimalist yet powerful single-file downloader crafted in Python, designed to simplify and enhance your downloading experience. Inspired by the legendary GNU wget, bwget adds intuitive features, seamless torrent support, and sleek progress visuals all within a compact script. 🌟 Key Features 🌐 HTTP/HTTPS Downloads: Effortlessly download files with an elegant progress bar powered by Rich. 🔗 Torrent Support: Download .torrent files and magnet links with ease (single torrent at a time, no seeding). 📁 Automatic Filename Detection: Picks the perfect filename from URLs or server headers. ⏳ Resume Capability: Seamlessly continue interrupted downloads. 🔐 Secure Connections: Robust TLS verification, with an option to bypass (--no-check-certificate). 🛡️ SHA-256 Verification: Automatically verifies file integrity via SHA-256. 🔄 Automatic Retries: Smart retries with exponential backoff for robust downloads. 📃 Batch Downloads: Handle multiple downloads effortlessly from a list file (urls.txt). 🌀 Bandwidth Throttling: Limit download rates with --limit-rate or via configuration. 🌱 Torrent Controls: Restrict peer count with --max-seeds and configurable listen ports. 🛠️ Configurable: Customize behavior easily through a convenient TOML config file. 🛠️ Requirements Python 3.8+ requests and rich packages libtorrent (optional, required for torrent and magnet downloads) tomli (Python <3.11) or built-in tomllib (Python ≥3.11) Install the core dependencies: pip install requests rich tomli To enable torrent support you will also need libtorrent: pip install libtorrent ⚙️ Installation 📂 From Source Clone and install quickly: git clone https://github.com/Sr-0w/bwget.git cd bwget chmod +x bwget.py sudo mv bwget.py /usr/local/bin/bwget Optionally, install the provided man page: sudo install -Dm644 bwget.1 /usr/share/man/man1/bwget.1 📦 Packages Arch Linux (AUR): bwget yay -S bwget or paru -S bwget Fedora (COPR): bwget dnf copr enable srobin/bwget dnf install bwget Install from AUR manually: git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/bwget.git cd bwget makepkg -si 📌 Usage Examples Simple file download: bwget https://example.com/file.tar.gz Download torrent or magnet link: bwget https://example.com/file.torrent bwget "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:..."
