Grab is a Go package for downloading files from the internet with features like concurrent progress monitoring, auto-resume of incomplete downloads, checksum validation, and rate limiting. It also ships an optional command-line downloader built on the same library.
Use cases
- download files from urls in go
- resume interrupted downloads programmatically
- download thousands of files concurrently
- validate downloaded files with checksums
- limit download bandwidth with a rate limiter
- monitor download progress in a go application
When to choose
- you need robust batch downloading of large, immutable remote files in Go
- you want auto-resume, checksum validation, and progress tracking out of the box
- you need context-based cancellation of downloads
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured GUI or browser download manager
- your downloads require complex authentication flows or dynamic content
- you are not working in Go
