&& chmod +x install.sh \
&& ./install.sh \

**[Download Binary](https://github.com/thedevsaddam/dl/releases)**

### Download options

```sh
$ dl -u https://www.url.com/foo.ext
# or with concurrency
$ dl -u https://www.url.com/foo.ext -c 10
# with debug mode enabled (if you are curious!)
$ dl -u https://www.url.com/foo.ext -c 10 -d
# with custom output file name
$ dl -u https://www.url.com/foo.ext -c 10 -d -n bar.ext
```
### Configurations

**Setup destination directory**

```sh
# set current directory path as destination directory
$ dl config -p .
# or set other directory
$ dl config -p $HOME/Downloads
```
Note: If you have `destination` directory set then all files automatically will be saved there. If you want to override on the fly then use `-p .` flag to download in the current directory.
By default the `destination` directory value is empty that means the file will be downloaded in the current directory.

**Setup sub-directory/extensions**

Note: If `destination` directory is not set then the sub-directory/extensions will NOT WORK

```sh
# set sub-directory based on extensions
# this will create a "binary" diectory inside root directory. 
# all downloads with .exe, .dmg extensions will be stored there
$ dl config -s "binary:.exe,.dmg"
```

**Setup concurrency**

```sh
# default concurrency is 5, you can set default value by passing -c flag in config
$ dl config -c 10
```
