Fget is a cross-platform command-line multi-threaded HTTP/HTTPS/FTP file downloader which is very close to multiget. It features downloading single but very large files in multiple threads at highest possible speed with minimal system resources. It is supposed to be a command line complement of wget, which is best for site-mirroring and single-thread small files transferring, or multiget, which features desktop (GUI) multi-threaded file retrieving. It aims to make large files downloading easier by speeding up the retrieving process at very low system load. Being a command line tool, it should be more flexible to be called non-interactively by other scripts.
