saldl is a lightweight well-featured CLI downloader optimized for speed and early preview.

By default, saldl splits a download into fixed-sized chunks and download them in-order with multiple concurrent connections. Other modes are also available as options.

All options are documented in the manual.

saldl is open-source and multi-platform. It has been tested on GNU/Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Mac OSX, and Windows.

Windows binaries are provided with every release. Mac OSX users can use Homebrew to install saldl.

Detailed build/install instructions are available in the README.

saldl is Free Software, available for everyone under the terms of the AGPL.
