Dfget

dfget is the client of Dragonfly used to download and upload files. The unix socket of the dfdaemon GRPC service needs to be used during the upload and download process of dfget. To use dfget, dfdaemon must be started.

Usage​

dfget is the client of Dragonfly which takes a role of peer in a P2P network. When user triggers a file downloading task, dfget will download the pieces of file from other peers. Meanwhile, it will act as an uploader to support other peers to download pieces from it if it owns them. In addition, dfget has the abilities to provide more advanced functionality, such as network bandwidth limit, transmission encryption and so on.
