Specifing download location when using API #115

Hi, I'm evaluating this program for my company. I have several employees that needs to download multiple files from my website, and I'm looking for ways to automate this process.

What I would like to do is to specify a list of files to download and a list of of locations on the disk with a name:

http://example/file.pdf -> /Users/user/Desktop/Store/file-with-different-name.pdf http://example/file2.pdf -> /Users/user/Desktop/Store/file-with-another-name.pdf

So basically what I want to do is that when they click on a link they immediately start the download in that location, they should not receive a prompt that the file already exists.

Is this currently doable with the existing api?

thanks.

Hi there, so the API does not let you specify locations on disk and filenames yet. It's something I could add but would take me maybe a few weeks.

If you're building something custom though, have you considered a command line download accelerator such as axel or aria?
