Current features

  • Simple: a command line tool to manage easily your downloads ;
  • Fast: multithreading support.

NOTE: Snatch is on alpha version. This version runs well on remote contents with a length known before the download (with the content-length header from the server response) - also, the Interruptable feature is not implemented yet.

Installation

  1. Install Rust and Cargo using rustup ;
  2. You can download two versions of Snatch :
    • the latest build from crates.io: cargo install snatch ;
    • the last commit version from Github: cargo install --git https://github.com/derniercri/snatch.git --branch devel ;
  3. Enjoy !
