Download Queue (DQ) v0.2

A fairly big update to the script, I've added several new features:

Notifications via libnotify

Download History

Reprioritization via move, up, and down commands

Added the ability to add multiple urls at once

Added the ability to skip a download via CTRL+C (moves it to end of queue)

-f option for custom queue.txt at command line

-c option for custom .dqcfg at command line

Get the updated script here: Download Queue v0.2

If some of the new code seems a little hack-ish just remember, I'm still learning.

Next on the agenda:

Figure out how to account for wget getting 404, 503, etc, while still providing real-time output to the command line.

Download grouping and/or contexts (i.e. if a download falls within a certain context, check against a certain set of filters)

Modified "start" command (download a certain number of urls, a certain range, or those matching a certain regex)

Is it possible to make it work on Darwin/Mac also?

Jason

I'm afraid I've never used Darwin/Mac, but if you tell me what kind of errors you're getting (if any) I might be able to work it out.

Henrik

I get this error:

./dq.sh: line 199: conditional binary operator expected
./dq.sh: line 199: syntax error near `=~'
./dq.sh: line 199: ` if [[ "$getfile" =~ ${FILTERMATCH[$index]} ]]; then'

I'm not that good in the terminal either. Hope you have some clues about whats wrong.

Tony Agudo

Hmm, it seems that the "=~" operator may be the problem. Perhaps the =~ operator isn't defined on the Mac's version of bash(I have bash v3.2.13 on Ubuntu Feisty).

Note to Jason: the extra pair of square brackets in the if test aren't needed.

hmm why did u zip as rar?
won't gzip be a more popular choice?
have to hunt for unrar now heh

Not work in all servers! :0(
What is your SO?

I get this same error:

./dq.sh: line 199: conditional binary operator expected
./dq.sh: line 199: syntax error near `=~'
./dq.sh: line 199: ` if [[ "$getfile" =~ ${FILTERMATCH[$index]} ]]; then'

Nathaniel

Seems the =~ operator only exists in newer version of Bash 3.x
