Binary file will be built at ./bin/hget, you can copy to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin and even alias wget hget to replace wget totally :P

Usage

hget [-n parallel] [-skip-tls false] [-rate bwRate] [-proxy proxy_server] [-file filename] [URL] # to download url, with n connections, and not skip tls certificate
hget - resume TaskName # to resume task
hget -proxy "127.0.0.1:12345" URL # to download using socks5 proxy
hget -proxy "http://sample-proxy.com:8080" URL # to download using http proxy
hget -file sample.txt # to download a list of urls
hget -n 4 -rate 100KB URL # to download using 4 threads & limited to 100KB per second

# real world example
hget -n 16 -rate 10MiB "https://releases.ubuntu.com/24.04.1/ubuntu-24.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso"
# resuming a stopped download
