Pget is a fast, resumable command-line file download client written in Go that uses parallel multi-connection HTTP requests to speed up downloads. It supports multiple mirrors, resuming interrupted downloads, and cross-compilation for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Use cases

  • download large files faster than wget
  • resume interrupted downloads from the command line
  • download a file from multiple mirrors in parallel
  • parallelize HTTP downloads with multiple connections
  • fetch ISO images quickly from the terminal

When to choose

  • you need faster downloads than wget/curl for large files on servers that support range requests
  • you want a resumable downloader with multi-mirror support
  • you need a single cross-platform binary with no dependencies

When to avoid

  • the server is behind a CDN that throttles or ignores range requests
  • you need features like authentication, cookies, or recursive downloading
  • the project appears to be in maintenance mode with infrequent releases
