dlmanager
=========
**dlmanager** is Python 2 and 3 download manager library, with the following
features:
- Download files in background and in parallel
- Cancel downloads
- store downloads in a given directory, avoiding re-downloading files
- Limit the size of this directory, removing oldest files
Example
-------
.. code-block:: python
from dlmanager import DownloadManager, PersistLimit
manager = DownloadManager(
"dlmanager-destir",
persist_limit=PersistLimit(
size_limit=1073741824, # 1 GB max
file_limit=10, # force to keep 10 files even if size_limit is reached
)
)
# Start downloads in background
# Note that if files are already present, this is a no-op.
manager.download(url1)
manager.download(url2)
# Wait for completion
try:
manager.wait()
except:
manager.cancel()
raise
Installation
