A PyQt5 GUI front-end for wget specialized for downloading open directory listings. This tool provides a user-friendly interface to configure and execute wget commands for downloading entire directory structures from web servers.

• GUI Interface: Easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring wget options
• Multiple URL Sources: Add and manage multiple directory sources in a list
• Search Functionality: Search across all URL sources for specific files or patterns
• Interactive File Selection: Browse search results with checkboxes to select individual files or use "Select All"
• Multi-file Downloads: Generate wget commands for multiple selected files
• Progress Tracking: Real-time progress monitoring with percentage, speed, and ETA
• Recursive Downloads: Support for recursive directory downloads with depth control
• File Type Filtering: Accept or reject specific file types using wildcards
• Resume Support: Continue interrupted downloads
• Preset Management: Save and load download configurations (including URL lists)
• Command Preview: See the generated wget command before execution
• Directory Control: Options to customize directory structure and naming

• Python 3.6 or higher
• wget (system utility)

1. Clone or download the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd wgetGUI

2. Create a virtual environment (recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Ensure wget is installed on your system:

   • Linux/macOS: Usually pre-installed; otherwise install via package manager (apt, yum, brew, etc.)
   • Windows: Install Git for Windows (includes wget) or use WSL, or install GNUWin32 wget

1. Run the application:

   python downlaoder.py

2. Configure download options:

   • Add one or more URL sources to the list
   • Use the search box to find specific files across all sources
   • Select files from the search results dialog
   • Or use traditional recursive download from a single source
   • Select destination folder
   • Configure wget options as needed

3. Review the generated command in the preview panel

4. Click "Start Download" to begin the process

• URL Sources: List of directory URLs to download from or search through
• Search: Search all URL sources for files matching a text pattern
• Destination folder: Local path where files will be saved
• Recursive: Enable recursive downloading of subdirectories
• No parent: Don't ascend to parent directories (recommended)
• Mirror: Use wget's mirror option for comprehensive downloads
• Recursion depth: Limit how deep to recurse into subdirectories
• Cut dirs: Number of directory components to remove from the root
• No host directory: Don't create host-prefixed directories
• Timestamping: Only download newer files (useful for updates)
• Continue/Resume: Resume interrupted downloads
• Rate limit: Limit download speed (e.g., "50k" or "1m")
• Max retries: Number of retries for failed downloads
• Timeout: Connection timeout in seconds
• Accept/Reject file types: Include/exclude specific file extensions
• User-Agent: Custom User-Agent string for requests
• Span hosts: Follow links to different hosts
• Follow FTP links: Follow FTP links as well as HTTP
• Do not clobber: Don't overwrite existing files

• Multiple Sources: Add multiple URL sources and use the search feature to find specific files across all of them
• Search Patterns: Enter any text to search for in filenames (e.g., ".iso", "ubuntu", "2024")
• Selective Downloads: Use search results dialog to select exactly which files you want to download
• For open directory downloads, use -r -np -nH --cut-dirs to avoid creating deep host directories
• Use --accept to restrict file types and avoid downloading unwanted files
• Use -c to resume interrupted downloads
• If wget isn't found, install it and ensure it's in your PATH
