The manager, called autodownloader, is composed of two components:
- Background service (autodl-service)
- Command line utility to handle the application (autodl).
autodl-service is executed as a different process, by running the command ./autodl-service.py [max-tasks-number].
autodl is executed by 'user' with the command ./autodl.py .
Usage: ./autodl.py <command>
Options:
add <url> [path] Add the URL to the service to download.
If path is not given, the current user’s home directory is used instead.
clear The service will finish its ongoing tasks and not start new ones.
All the previously added URLs should be forgotten.
