zckdl —

download a zchunk file

SYNOPSIS

zckdl [--fail-no-ranges] [-q | --quiet] [-s file | --source=file] [-v | --verbose] url

zckdl -? | --help | --usage | --version

The zckdl utility attempts to download a zchunk file in an optimized way, taking into consideration the chunked structure.

The zckdl utility accepts the following optional arguments:

--fail-no-ranges: If the server does not support ranges, fail instead of downloading the whole file.
-q | --quiet: Quiet operation; only display warning and error messages. If specified twice, only display error messages.
-s | --source: Specify the file to use as a source with the premise that most of the chunks in the downloaded file will be the same.
-v, --verbose: Verbose operation; display some diagnostic output.
-?, --help: Display program usage information and exit.
--usage: Display brief program usage information and exit.
--version: Display program version information and exit.

The zckdl utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

Download a zchunk file that is hopefully not much different from the previous version:

zckdl -s doc1.txt.zck
  https://example.com/doc2.txt.zck
