`

$3

`
nugget http://foo.com/bar.jpg


downloads bar.jpg and stores it in the current directory


`

or

`
nugget http://foo.com/bar.jpg -O baz.jpg


saves it as baz.jpg. you can also do lowercase -o


`

if you get a statusCode of 300 or greater nugget will stop. you can force it to stream the response into a file anyway by doing nugget http://404link.com/file.html -f or --force works too

you can also download multiple files, just pass multiple urls:

!download multiple

options

The following options are recognized by nugget:

- -o|-O|--out - specify the filename to write to. this only works if you are downloading a single file
- -d|--dir - save files in a directory other than the current one.
- -c|--continue - resume downloads if a partially complete target file already exists. If the target file exists and is the same size as the remote file, nothing will be done.
- -f|--force - force the server response to be saved to the target file, even if it's a non-successful status code.
- -s|--sockets - default Infinity. specify the number of http sockets to use at once (this controls concurrency)
- -q|--quiet - disable logging
- -t, --tmpfile - write files to .tmp while downloading
- --proxy - specify a proxy to use
- --no-strict-ssl` - disable strict ssl
