This class is used for downloading files from the internet via http or ftp. It supports basic http authentication and ftp accounts, and supports resuming downloads. It does not support https or sftp at this time.

The main advantage of this class is it’s ease of use, and pure pythoness.

If a non-standard port is needed just include it in the url (http://example.com:7632).

Basic usage: >>> downloader = FileDownloader(‘http://example.com/file.zip‘) >>> downloader.download()

Use full path to download >>> downloader = FileDownloader(‘http://example.com/file.zip‘,

“C:/Users/username/Downloads/newfilename.zip”)

>>> downloader.download()

Basic Authentication protected download >>> downloader = FileDownloader(‘http://example.com/file.zip‘,

“C:/Users/username/Downloads/newfilename.zip”, (‘username’,’password’))

>>> downloader.download()

Resume >>> downloader = FileDownloader(‘http://example.com/file.zip‘) >>> downloader.resume()
