Prometeo is a versatile download manager library for Node.js that enables efficient parallel downloading of files, making it a valuable tool for tasks like batch downloading large sets of files. It offers speed control, automatic retries, and the ability to resume interrupted downloads.
You can install Prometeo using npm:
npm install prometeoHere's a basic example of how to use Prometeo to download a file:
const Manager = require('prometeo');
const prometeo = new Manager({
connections: 4, // Number of concurrent download connections (optional)
tempdir: '/path/to/temp/folder', // Temporary storage directory (optional)
userAgent: 'Your User Agent', // User agent for HTTP requests (optional)
speedLimit: 10, // Speed limit in Mbps (optional)
});
// Start a download
const download = prometeo.download({
url: 'https://example.com/largefile.zip',
path: '/path/to/save/',
filename: 'save.zip' //(optional)
});
download.on('start', () => {
console.log('Download started');
});
download.on('progress', ({speed, progress, estimated}) => {
console.log(`Download progress: ${progress}% with a speed of ${speed} (estimated: ${estimated / 1000} seconds)`);
});
download.on('finish', () => {
console.log('Download finished');
});
setTimeout(() => {
prometeo.setSpeed(5)
}, 5000) //Change the limit speed to 5 Mbps before 5 seconds
let filePath = await download.start();
console.log(`file saved at: ${filePath}`)For more detailed examples and options, please refer to the documentation.
