okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about fexget 💖 this is the manual page for fexget from the General Commands Manual, and honestly? it's giving "send ur friend a 40GB video file" energy and I am obsessed. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

fexget — F*EX client 🦋

lowkey the whole vibe in four words. iconic.

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

fexget [OPTION]... <F*EX-URL>...
fexget [-v] -d <F*EX-URL>...
fexget [-v] -f <F*EX-URL> <email-address>
fexget [-v] -a
fexget -l [-i tag]

look at her. five whole moods. pick ur fighter. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so, F*EX (Frams' Fast File EXchange) is a service to send big (large, huge, giant, ...) files from a user A to a user B. yes bestie, the manpage itself says "large, huge, giant, ..." with the dots and everything — it's that kind of energy. 🫶

This manual page documents briefly the fexget command. briefly. like a lil trailer. the actual tool is right there waiting for you.

and here's the tea 🍓: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. like, at all. not one. so Debian said "fine, I'll do it myself" and here we are. main character behaviour fr fr.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -v — runs fexget in verbose mode. she tells you everything she's doing. oversharing as a feature. 💬
  • -m <limit> — limit bandwidth to limit kB/s. throttle her. keep her humble. 🧚
  • -s — save to filename (-s- means: write to STDOUT/pipe). yes, the dash matters, don't come for me. 🌸
  • -o — overwrite existing file. bold. fearless. no fear of commitment. 🔥
  • -k — keep the file on server after download. she stays on the server, you get a copy. both of you win. 👑
  • -X — do not extract archive files. leave the archives alone, they're doing their best. 📦
  • -d — delete file on server. gone. deleted. no takebacks. 💀
  • -f <F*EX-URL> — forward a file to another recipient. passing it along like a good group chat citizen. 🫶
  • -a — get all files (implies -X). all of them. every single one. 💖
  • -l — list files on server. window shopping. 🛍️
  • -i <id> — tag alternate server/account. pick a different identity, mystery girl. 🙈
  • -P <proxy>:<port> — use proxy for connection to the F*EX server. going the long way around, respectfully. 🌈
also: a F*EX-URL may be a file number (see: fexget -l). so yes bestie, fexget -l first, then feed the number back in. iykyk. ⭐
