Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2014 10:03:50 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141129100350.eklhad@comcast.net> (raw)
git pull, and give it a try.
I only implemented http, so far, I realize ftp is probably more important.
I'll do that next, but don't remember, and don't know,
how to determine if the ftp fetch is a directory listing.
You don't want to download a directory listing.
You just want to look at it.
I'll be working on that next.
Meantime if you have a large http download to test this with
that would be great.
I don't really have one,
and if I made one on my local website it happens so fast
it's still not a good test.
So hopefully one of you can test it.
When asked for download file, you can hit return for the default filename,
x to abort
space to read into memory as before,
a file name without slashes to place in your download directory
or a file name with slashes to direct where it goes.
This latter case performs globbing.
$books/sci-fi/RendezvousWithRama.bk
If there is no download directory in your config file,
then the file is always relative to your current directory.
downdir = /home/eklhad/downloads
This is (now) documented in CHANGES and the users guide.
