Fetch is a lightweight CLI for fast downloading .It breaks a file in chunks and utilizes multiple goroutines to download these chunks in parallel to disks and later merge them.
I benchmarked fetch with two popular cli for downloading cURL and wget on an average it performed better with significantly less time taken by fetch.
Avg Time taken to download debian.iso (377 Mb):
- fetch (dividing in 20 chunks)-34.23124401569366 seconds
- cURL- 61.38265061378479 seconds
- wget- 69.53341414928437 seconds
Fetch took 44.23% less time than curl and 50.77% less time than wget
