TurboGet — Smart, Speed-Optimized File Downloader

I’m thrilled to introduce TurboGet, a lightweight and intelligent command-line tool that makes downloading files blazing fast.

Unlike traditional tools that need manual tuning, TurboGet automatically benchmarks both curl and aria2c in real-time — then chooses the faster one for your download.

Whether it’s a CDN in Europe or a server halfway across the globe, TurboGet ensures you always get the best speed with zero configuration.

Why TurboGet?

Downloading large files shouldn’t feel like watching paint dry.

Here’s what makes TurboGet different:

• Auto-Speed Test → Runs a quick 1MB benchmark with both curl and aria2c
• Dynamic Selection → Automatically picks the faster tool for the full download
• Output Control → Save files anywhere with -o <dir>
• Clean UX → Clear progress bar, concise logs, and automatic cleanup
• Cross-Platform → Works on macOS, Linux, and WSL out of the box

How It Works

1. You provide a file URL
2. TurboGet runs a short speed test with curl and aria2c
3. It calculates throughput and selects the winner
4. The full file is downloaded with maximum performance
5. You get your file — quickly, cleanly, and without guesswork

Usage

./turbo-get.sh -o /path/to/folder https://example.com/file.zip

Options: • -o <directory> → (optional) Output directory • -h → Show help

Open Source & Lightweight

TurboGet is minimal by design — no heavy frameworks, just Bash + curl + aria2c.
