Download from file sharing sites (uploaded, MEGA, freakshare) on your Raspberry Pi
Download from file sharing sites (uploaded, MEGA, freakshare) on your Raspberry Pi
Updated July, 2017
Best of Raspberry Pi for me is saving resources on tasks that require some time to process: Modify massively thousands of files or download torrents are some of them.
Today we are going to download/upload files from sharing sites such as MEGA, 4shared or Mediafire in Raspbian or Debian based with plowshare.
What is plowshare?
Plowshare is a command line tool (CLI) to upload/download files from sharing websites such as MEGA, Uploaded or FreakShare.
Features:
Plowshare supports around 44+ different hosters.
A small footprint (few shell scripts). No java, no python! Run fast on embedded devices!
Few dependencies and portable. bash and curl are enough for most hosters.
Support for automatic online captcha solver services.
[Installation]
First, install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install recode spidermonkey-bin sxiv
NOTE: If you have premium account, do not install sxiv package.
It is necessary for some hosting the next to solve Captcha, but do not install it if you do not ask:
sudo apt-get install libhtml-parser-perl rhino
Now download and uncompress the next file from github, and run:
git clone https://github.com/mcrapet/plowshare.git plowshare && cd $_
sudo make install
plowmod --install
plowmod enable some hosters by default (Uploaded, Mega,...)
[Use]
The command to download is called plowdown. To use, simply write plowdown followed the download link from X-Windows:
plowdown http://url_to_download
You need the X because Captcha show you a picture. There are packages that convert the image in ASCII format to be used directly from the terminal such as aview, but I have not managed to resolve none with this method.
If you have premium account you don't need enter into the desktop. You can download directly from a console.
To do this, you must add the parameter -a 'user:password'. Example:
plowdown -a 'user34:1234' http://uploaded.net/file/40s4x2sx
We can also create a .txt file with all the links you want to download and invoke it as follows:
plowdown -m downloads.txt
