Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Resumability when downloading files will give the plus point when we use cli-based downloader.
Describe the Solution
- create a download metadata file along with the file being downloaded that keeps track of downloads
- create a basic JSON-based database or registry for tracking downloads. This will help keeping track of downloads even if it is scattered in different paths (even on mounted volumes.)
- Check the resumability first by checking
accept-rangesheader, and fallback to sequential downloading or start over if it does not support downloading.
Describe Alternatives
How should it look in the CLI?
add more cli subcommands for tracking downloads
# order incomplete downloads first
$ furl downloads
1 some_incomplete_download1.iso [======_______] 50%
2 some_incomplete_download2.iso [===__________] 25%
3 some_completed_download.iso [=============] 100%
$ furl resume 1
Resuming download "some_incomplete_download1"
found file at "/home/user/Downloads/some_incomplete_download1.iso"
