PARFIVE(1)

🦋 parfive(1) — it's a User Command, bestie 🦋

okay so quick vibe check before we even start: this page is parfive(1), and it lives in the User Commands section of the manual. she's a real one. let's get into it 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

parfive — Python Asyncio Based Downloader ✨

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

here's the whole mood, the literal usage line, copy-pasted with love (do not touch the spacing, she's sensitive):

usage: parfive [-h] [--max-conn MAX_CONN] [--max-splits MAX_SPLITS]
              [--directory DIRECTORY] [--overwrite] [--no-progress]
              [--no-file-progress] [--print-filenames] [--verbose] [--version]
              URLS [URLS ...]

and the whole personality in one sentence: Parfive: A parallel file downloader written in Python. she downloads files. in parallel. in Python. that's her. that's the brand. 💅

---

🌈 positional arguments 🌈

• URLS — the URLs of the files you want downloaded. yes, plural, you can hand her a whole situationship's worth of links at once ✨

---

💅 options 💅

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic. the icon. the "bestie what do I even do here" button 🫶
• --max-conn MAX_CONN — maximum number of parallel file downloads. she'll keep this many files going at once, no more 👑
• --max-splits MAX_SPLITS — maximum number of parallel connections per file, and heads up: this is only used if it's supported by the server. so if the server says no, she says ok periodt 🙈
• --directory DIRECTORY — the directory your downloaded files get saved into. give her a home, she'll fill it 📁
• --overwrite — overwrite if the file exists. no warnings, no apologies, she's replacing it 💀
• --no-progress — show progress indicators during download. (yes bestie, that is literally what the page says, I'm not editing her, I'm just the messenger 💖)
• --no-file-progress — show progress bar for each file. the per-file edition of the above, verbatim, no notes 🎀
• --print-filenames — print successfully downloaded files's names to stdout. the ones that made it through 👏 get announced 👏
• --verbose — log debugging output while transferring the files. for when you need to know everything, main character detective energy 🔍
• --version — show program's version number and exit. quick identity check, then she's out 🦋

no cap, that's the entire page. nothing hidden, nothing skipped, every flag accounted for. if you were expecting secret bonus content, she doesn't do that. she does files. 💜
