DESCRIPTION

         Command-line download manager, capable of downloading files from

SYNOPSIS

         slimrat [OPTION...] [LINK]...

OPTIONS

       --help
                 Prints a summary how to use the client.

       --man
                 Prints a manual how to use the client.

       --daemon
                 Makes slimrat work in the background, by properly forking and redirecting
                 the output to a specified logfile. Only one file can be backgrounded at a
                 time, to support multiple instances you'll need to specify differend
                 state files to save the instances PID in.

       --kill
                 Kills a single active client, by looking up the PID in a predefined state file.

       --list
                 Uses the given file as a queue-file containing URLs.

       --check
                 Do not download the loaded URLs, just check them.

       --to
                 Specifies the target directory for the downloaded files.

       --address
                 Makes the download client bind to a specific address.

       --config
                 Load custom configuration file.

       --debug
                 Enables maximal verbosity, which includes a lot of text on the screen and the generation
                 of an additional dump archive.
                 WARNING: do not use this option by default, as it keeps a whole lot of extra information
                          in memory (including _all_ downloaded items).

       --quiet
                 Makes slimrat less verbose, only displaying errors and warnings.

EXAMPLES

         slimrat http://rapidshare.com/files/012345678/somefile.xxx
         slimrat -l urls.dat -d
