Zoe

English | 简体中文

A C++ file download library.

Features

• Multi-protocol, such as HTTP(s), FTP(s)...

• Multi-threaded Segmented downloads and breakpoint transmission.

• Limit download speed.

• Disk cache.

• Support large file (PB level).

• Compatible with server leeching detection(or limit).

Compile and Install

Zoe only depends on curl. After installing curl, use CMake to compile and install Zoe.

In addition, the Zoe library has been included in Microsoft's vcpkg, which can be quickly installed directly using the following command:

vcpkg install zoe

Getting Started

The following example uses Zoe's default configuration parameters to demonstrate how to quickly use Zoe to download file:

#include <iostream>
#include "zoe.h"

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  using namespace zoe;

  Zoe::GlobalInit();

  Zoe z;
  
  std::shared_future<Result> r = z.start(u8"http://xxx.xxx.com/test.exe", u8"D:\\test.exe");

  Result result = r.get();

  Zoe::GlobalUnInit();

  return 0;
}

The following example is a bit more complex and sets some configuration parameters and callback functions:

#include <iostream>
#include "zoe.h"

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  using namespace zoe;

  Zoe::GlobalInit();

  Zoe z;

  z.setThreadNum(10);                     // Optional
  z.setTmpFileExpiredTime(3600);          // Optional
  z.setDiskCacheSize(20 * (2 << 19));     // Optional
  z.setMaxDownloadSpeed(50 * (2 << 19));  // Optional
  z.setHashVerifyPolicy(ALWAYS, MD5, "6fe294c3ef4765468af4950d44c65525"); // Optional, support MD5, CRC32, SHA256
  // There are more options available, please check zoe.h
  z.setVerboseOutput([](const utf8string& verbose) { // Optional
    printf("%s\n", verbose.c_str());
  });
  z.setHttpHeaders({  // Optional
    {u8"Origin", u8"http://xxx.xxx.com"},
    {u8"User-Agent", u8"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)"}
   });
  
  std::shared_future<Result> r = z.start(
      u8"http://xxx.xxx.com/test.exe", u8"D:\\test.exe",
      [](Result result) {  // Optional
        // result callback
      },
      [](int64_t total, int64_t downloaded) {  // Optional
        // progress callback
      },
      [](int64_t byte_per_secs) {  // Optional
        // real-time speed callback
      });

  r.wait();

  Zoe::GlobalUnInit();

  return 0;
}

Command-line tool

zoe_tool is command-line tool based on zoe library.

Usage:

zoe_tool URL TargetFilePath [ThreadNum] [DiskCacheMb] [MD5] [TmpExpiredSeconds] [MaxSpeed]

• URL: Download URL.
• TargetFilePath: target file saved path.
• ThreadNum: thread number, optional, default is 1.
• DiskCacheMb: Disk cache size(Mb), default is 20Mb.
• MD5: target file md5, optional, if this value isn't empty, tools will check file md5 after download finished.
• TmpExpiredSeconds: seconds, optional, the temporary file will expired after these senconds.
• MaxSpeed: max download speed(byte/s).
