CLI tool built using Go to download images from a .txt file containing all the images addresses.
To install, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/ivanatias/imgdl.git - Navigate to the cloned directory:
cd imgdl - Install the tool using Go:
go install
You must install Go in your system. To install, follow the instructions on Go's website.
Once installed, you can use the tool as follows:
- Unix-like systems:
./imgdl -from /path/to/text.txt - Windows:
imgdl.exe -from C:\path\to\text.txt
Optionally, you can provide a path to indicate where all the images should be saved. By default, all images will be saved on a folder called imgdl on the current working directory from where the CLI has been executed.
Providing a path where images should be saved:
./imgdl -from /path/to/text.txt -to /path/where/images/are/saved
Note that while the to flag is optional, from is required.
You can run ./imgdl -help to see all available options.
It takes an average time of 30-35 seconds to download and save 600 images. However, this time can vary based on various factors such as:
-
Network Speed: If the network speed is slow, it may take longer to download each image, resulting in increased overall download time.
-
Image Size: Larger images will take more time to download and save compared to smaller ones. Therefore, if the images being downloaded have varying sizes, the download time will vary accordingly.
-
Server Response Time: If the server from which the images are being downloaded has high response time, it can increase the overall download time.
