Assetto Corsa downloader

Download cars and tracks from racedepartment.com

Why?

To avoid visiting the site to figure out what's new and then download it.

Instalation

Binary file:

Download from the releases tab:

Source:

git clone https://github.com/reneManqueros/assetto-corsa-downloader.git
cd assetto-corsa-downloader/src
go build -ldflags "-w -s" .

Running

Generate session on racedepartment

Log in to the website with your credentials
Retrieve cookie info for the downloader:

Use an extension like "EditThisCookie" and extract the value of these 3 cookies:

xf_csrf
xf_session
xf_user

Place them on the config.json file:

{
  "cookie_csrf": "CSRF VALUE HERE",
  "cookie_user": "USER VALUE HERE",
  "cookie_session": "SESSION VALUE HERE",
  "max_downloads": 4,
  "download_folder": "downloads"
}

Run

./acdl

This will generate a "downloaded.log" file to keep track of what is already downloaded.

Multiple runs will still generate an index of the site but not duplicate downloads.
