- Available for all platforms that Golang supports
- JPEG and PNG images can be converted down in quality to save disk space
- Excluded URLS will not be fetched (unlike wget)
- No incomplete temp files are left on disk
- Downloaded asset files are skipped in a new scraper run
- Assets from external domains are downloaded automatically
- Sane default values
- No GUI version, console only
There are 2 options to install goscrape:
- Download and unpack a binary release from Releases
or
- Compile the latest release from source:
