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)
