NAME

6       d4x - A download manager for X
7

SYNOPSYS

9       d4x [OPTIONS] ... [URL]

DESCRIPTION

12       d4x  (also  known as Downloader for X) is a Linux GUI program for down‐
13       loading files from the Internet.  It supports FTP and  HTTP  (not  com‐
14       pletly yet but the current implementation is quite enough for download‐
15       ing).  The program will resume interupted downloads if the server  sup‐
16       ports  it too. d4x is like kget for Linux and ReGet or GetRight for Mi‐
17       crosoft Windows (tm).
18

OPTIONS

20       Options are distinguished from URLs in that they  begin  with  a  minus
21       sign (-).  One may specify any number of options and URLs.
22
23       Many  of  the options can be used to control a pre-existing instance of
24       d4x.  When d4x finds an instance of itself  already  running,  it  will
25       forward  the command to the already running instance for execution.  If
26       there no pre-existing instance is  found,  then  it  will  perform  the
27       requested operations itself.
28
29       The  command  line  will be parsed from left to right.  This means that
30       the requested operations will be performed in that order.
31
32       d4x accepts the following options:
33
34       URL    Add the indicated file to the download queue.  A dialog box will
35              appear  in which you can indicate where the file should be saved
36              and set other options.  If d4x is already running, then the  new
37              instance  will  simply ask the existing instance to add the file
38              and then it will exit. If existing instance  already  have  this
39              URL  in  queue in inactive state than it will be moved to *wait*
40              state.
41
42       -h, --help
43              Print a brief description of the command line options and exit.
44
45       -v, --version
46              Show the version number and exit.
47
48       -i, --info
49              Show basic information about current  state  of  a  pre-existing
50              instance of the program.
51
52       -s, --speed
53              Show  current achieved download speed of a pre-existing instance
54              of the program.  The speed is a part  of  information  which  is
55              displayed by --info.
56
57       --minimized
58              Start  Downloader in the minimized (iconified) state.  This will
59              not minimize a pre-existing instance of the program.
60
61       --exit-time minutes
62              Set the timeout for exiting when the program is idle.
63
64       -t1, --traffic-low
65              Switch to low speed.
66
67       -t2, --traffic-medium
68              Switch to medium speed.
69
70       -t3, --traffic-high
71              Disable speed limit.
72
73       -d, --directory PATH
74              Set directory for saving downloaded files.  This applies only to
75              files  added to an pre-existing instance by running the d4x com‐
76              mand with URLs on the command line.
77
78       -c, --delete-completed
79              Remove completed downloads from the queue.
80
81       -r, --rerun-failed
82              Rerun all failed downloads.
83
84       -w, --without-face
85              Start Downloader without X interface.  (It will display the  log
86              on  stdout but there will be no user interface of any kind.  The
87              only way to control  it  is  by  running  d4x  with  appropriate
88              options.)
89
90       -m, --max-running integer
91              Set  the  maximum  total  number of active downloads for current
92              queue.

100              played by --ls command line parameter
101
102       --color
103              Use colors in main log when run without interface.  This  option
104              has no effect when Downloader was run with X interface.
105
106       -geometry [WIDTHxHEIGHT][+X][+Y]
107              Specify  geometry  of  main  window. Programm will ignore stored
108              position and size of the main window if this  option  is  speci‐
109              fied.
110
111       --del URL
112              Remove URL from programs's queues.
113
114       --stop URL
