SYNOPSIS

       megadl [--no-progress] [--path <path>] <links>...
       megadl --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 downloading folders,
       the contents of the folder are placed into directory specified by <path>.

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

OPTIONS

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

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

           Disable download progress reporting. This is implied when streaming.

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

       --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:

           •   api: Dump Mega.nz API calls

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

           •   cache: Dump cache contents

       --version
           Show version information

       <links>
           File and folder links to download from.

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.
