To download a daily backup at 2 AM:
crontab -e
# Add line:
0 2 * * * /usr/local/bin/docer download https://backups.example.com/daily.tar.gz --output /backups/
Linux users typically do not use a "downloader" GUI. Instead, use the terminal:
# For Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Or use the official convenience script:
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh
docer download --threads 16 https://example.com/bigfile.zip
To demonstrate effectiveness, we ran tests on a 500 Mbps fiber connection (latency ~15ms).
