Recursive File Downloader

This project is a Python-based recursive file downloader that allows you to download all files from a given URL, including subdirectories. The downloader supports various features such as:

• Resumable Downloads: Automatically resumes interrupted downloads using HTTP Range requests.
• Speed Limiting: Allows optional download speed limiting.
• Pause and Resume: Supports manual pause and resume during the download process.
• Retry Mechanism: Implements exponential backoff for retrying failed downloads.
• Progress Monitoring: Uses tqdm to display download progress in a user-friendly manner.

Features

• Provide the base URL as a command-line argument.
• Downloads files into downloaded_files/ followed by the rest of the URL path structure.
• Handles edge cases such as incomplete downloads, broken connections, and retry logic for failed attempts.

Usage

To run the downloader, use the command:

python main.py <base_url>

Example:

python main.py https://example.com/files/

This script is helpful for downloading a large number of files recursively from a web server while providing robust error handling and user control.
