Linux download tool curl is also a good command line download tool in Linux, which is small and fast. The only drawback is that multi-thread download is not supported. Download the latest version at http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.14.0.tar.gz.
After the download, you can use the following command to compile and install:
- # Tar zxvf curl-7.14.0.tar.gz
- # Cd curl: 7.14.0/
- #./Configure
- # Make
- # Make Test
- # Make install
The curl format is as follows: # curl [Option] []
Typical curl downloads are as follows: # curl-O http: // 10.1.27.10 /~ Kennycx/tools/lumaqq_2004-linux_gtk2_x86_with_jre.tar.gz uses curl to download a file and save it to the current directory.
In addition, although curl does not support multi-threaded download, it can download multiple files at the same time or a part of the downloaded files. You can use the following command to achieve this:
# Curl-R 0-199 http://www.netscape.com/get the first 200 bytes of the file.
You can easily download curl from common proxies. The specific operations are as follows:
# Curl-x 10.1.27.10: 1022 ftp://ftp.funet.fi/README
Use the proxy server with the proxy address 10.1.27.10 and port 1022 to download an object.
# Curl-u User: passwd-x 10.1.27.10: 1022 ftp://ftp.funet.fi/README
If the proxy server requires special authentication, enter a valid account and password at User: passwd.
