A terminal-based download manager written in Go! This project uses grab for downloading and tcell for the terminal interface.
Heavily work-in-progress.
I could ramble about how fast Go is and how well it does concurrency but the truth is I just wanted to learn it.
I thought it would be an interesting challenge to make in Go for my learning journey. It can be expanded to incorporate various cool features that will help me learn more about uses of the language.
I always wanted to make a terminal application with a pretty user interface (as pretty as a terminal can be). These tools (curl and wget) can't cover the situation where you want to download multiple files, monitor their progress, pause and continue them from a terminal in an simple an sightly manner.
Sorry, this is a learning project that I'm working on in parallel with my university studies and everything else I have going on in my life, so I can't give a time schedule.
I want to work on the major features of this myself; however If you have an interesting idea in mind, notice a bug, have a refactoring proposal etc. you are welcome to open an issue.
