NAME

       megaget - download files from your Mega.nz account

SYNOPSIS

       megaget [--no-progress] [--path <path>] <remotepaths>...
       megaget --path - <remotefile>

DESCRIPTION

       Downloads files from your Mega.nz account.

       NOTE: If you want to download entire directories, use megacopy(1).

OPTIONS

       --path <path>
           Local path to download to. If this path is a directory, files are placed into the
           directory. If this path doesn’t exist, and it’s parent directory does, the file will
           be downloaded to a specified file (this only works if you specify exactly one remote
           path).

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

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

       --disable-resume
           Don’t resume downloads from partially dowloaded file. Default is to resume.

       -u <email>, --username <email>
           Account username (email)

       -p <password>, --password <password>
           Account password

       --no-ask-password
           Never ask interactively for a password

       --reload
           Reload filesystem cache

       --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 ParallelTransfers > 1, upload speed limit
           is applied to each transfer individually.

       --proxy <proxy>
           Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz. This option overrides config file settings.
           More information can be found in libcurl documentation 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

       --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

       <remotepaths>
           One or more remote files to download.

       <remotefile>
           Remote path to a single file to stream.

EXAMPLES

       •   Download file to the current directory:

               $ megals /Root

               /Root
               /Root/README

               $ megaget /Root/README
               $ ls

               README

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). Structure 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.
