DLD

File downloader with partially-downloading support

Setup

npm install dld

Usage

var dld = require('dld');
 
var uri = 'http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.12/node-v0.10.12.pkg',
    output_folder = "Downloads/",
    chunk_size = 1000000; //bytes
 
dld(uri, output_folder, chunk_size).on('data', function (position, size) {
  console.log(position + '/' + size);
}).on('end', function () {
  console.log('done!');
});

dld will create temporary file node-v0.10.12.pkg.dld in Downloads\ folder and after downloading rename it to node-v0.10.12.pkg
