Multi-Threaded File Downloader

WebGet downloads files specified in a URL list. The file list can be both plain text format (one URL per line) and GetRight format. WebGet is mainly intended for use together with WebSuck.

Command Line

java -jar WebGet.jar <options>

Example: java -jar WebGet.jar -i filelist.lst -threads 30

Command Line Options

Switch Function
-i <file>

Sets the filename of the URL list. This file can be any format output by WebSuck, or GetRight. The format is one URL per line. Or a URL: / File: GetRight combination. (The different formats can also be combined in the same file).

The commenting understood is "//" or "#" comments.

-e <file> Writes all URLs that resulted in an error to the specified file.
-u <username> Username to use when downloading all of the files in the list
-p <password> Password to use when downloading all of the files in the list
-noreplace Skips download of files that already exist in the download location. Great for updating an archive of files that is missing some files from different pages.
-onedir Saves all files in one directory. This does not apply to URLs specified with the GetRight format.
-unixformat Use this when downloading files from a GetRight file in unix. Converts e.g. X:\path\ to ./X-/path/.
-threads # Sets the number of threads used by WebGet to download the files. Default is 5. Don't set this too high!

0.37b Fixed a bug with the -onedir parameter, which crashed WebGet.

0.35b Added -unixformat option to allow downloading from GetRight files in unix, using WebGet.
