NAME
     megatools dl - download exported files and directories from Mega.nz

SYNOPSIS
	    megatools dl [--no-progress] [--path <path>] <links>...
	    megatools dl --path - <filelink>

DESCRIPTION
     Downloads exported files and folders from Mega.nz. Handles links like:

     *
       <https://mega.nz/#!7YVWhCzZ!bauBlAkKKvv8hIm-8-qFmGOYS289ToQWN7rGFPzXB_w>

     *
       <https://mega.nz/#F!HIlFDajT!HLiVvQQkSe1d0ogxZuaOJg>

     When downloading individual files, these are placed into <path>. When down-
     loading folders, the contents of the folder are placed into directory spec-
     ified by <path>.

     To  export files, you can use Mega.nz web application, or megatools-ls(1)'s
     --export option.

OPTIONS
     --path <path>
	    Local directory to download to. Defaults to the current working  di-
	    rectory.

	    If <path> is -, remote file will be streamed to stdout.

     --no-progress
	    Disable download progress reporting. This is implied when streaming.

     --print-names
	    Print names/paths of successfully downloaded files (one per line).

     --choose-files
	    Print  all	files  in a shared folder and choose which files or sub-
	    folders to download. When choosing a subfolder, the entire subfolder
	    will be downloaded.

     --disable-resume
	    Don't resume downloads from partially downloaded file. Default is to
	    resume.

     --limit-speed <speed>
	    Set maximum allowed upload and download speed in KiB/s.  This option
	    overrides config file settings. 0 means no limit.  When using Paral-
	    lelTransfers > 1, upload speed limit is applied to each transfer in-
	    dividually.

     --proxy <proxy>
	    Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz. This option overrides config
	    file settings.  More information can be found in libcurl  documenta-
	    tion  at  <https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html>.  Some
	    acceptable values are:

	    *
	      none : Disable proxy if it was enabled in the config file.

	    *
	      socks5://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server

	    *
	      socks5h://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5	proxy  server  with  DNS
	      handled by the proxy

     --netif <ifname|ip>
	    Network interface or local IP address used for outgoing connections.
	    You  have  to specify IP address bound to some of your local network
	    interfaces, when specifying an IP address.

     --ip-proto <proto>
	    Which IP protocol to prefer when connecting to mega.nz (v4,  v6,  or
	    any).   This  is  just  an	advisory option.  Megatools will resolve
	    mega.nz domain, and then use an A or AAAA record based on the stated
	    preference.

     --config <path>
	    Load configuration from a file

     --ignore-config-file
	    Disable loading .megarc

     --debug [<options>]
	    Enable debugging of various aspects of the megatools operation.  You
	    may  enable  multiple  debugging  options  separated by commas. (eg.
	    --debug api,fs)

	    Available options are:

	    *
	      http: Dump HTTP request/response details (can  be  used  to  debug
	      connection/proxy issues)

	    *
	      api: Dump Mega.nz API calls

	    *
	      fs:  Dump  Mega.nz  filesystem  (may  require --reload to actually
	      print something)

	    *
	      cache: Dump cache contents

	    *
	      tman: Dump transfer manager events

     --version
	    Show version information

     <links>
	    File and folder links to download from.

     <filelink>
	    Link to exported file to stream.

EXAMPLES
     *
       Download exported file:

       $ megatools dl 'https://mega.nz/#!7YVWhCzZ!bauBlAkKKvv8hIm-8-qFmGOYS289ToQWN7rGFPzXB_w'

     *
       Download exported folder:

       $ megatools dl 'https://mega.nz/#F!HIlFDajT!HLiVvQQkSe1d0ogxZuaOJg'

REMOTE FILESYSTEM
     Mega.nz filesystem is represented as a tree  of  nodes  of  various  types.
     Nodes  are  identified by a 8 character node handles (eg. 7Fdi3ZjC). Struc-
     ture of the filesystem is not encrypted.

     Megatools maps node tree structure to a traditional filesystem  paths  (eg.
     /Root/SomeFile.DAT).

     NOTE:  By the nature of Mega.nz storage, several files in the directory can
     have the same name. To allow access to such files, the names of conflicting
     files are extended by appending dot and their node handle like this:

     /Root/conflictingfile
     /Root/conflictingfile.7Fdi3ZjC
     /Root/conflictingfile.mEU23aSD

     You need to be aware of several special folders:

     /Root  Writable directory representing the root of the filesystem.

     /Trash
	    Trash directory where Mega.nz web client moves deleted  files.  This
	    directory is not used by megatools when removing files.

     /Inbox
	    Not sure.

     /Contacts
	    Directory containing subdirectories representing your contacts list.
	    If	you want to add contacts to the list, simply create subdirectory
	    named after the contact you want to add.

     /Contacts/<email>
	    Directories representing individual contacts in your contacts  list.
	    These  directories	contain folders that others shared with you. All
	    shared files are read-only, at the moment.
