Zsh script to download files from gofile.io

for i in $(jq '.data.contents | keys | .[]' <<< "$resp"); do

Why have it like this? Ignoring the continue functionality of wget through the -c parameter.

  if [ ! -f "$filename" ] ; then
    wget '--header=Cookie: accountToken='"$token" -O "$filename" "$link" -q --show-progress -c -T 5 -t 1
    [ "$?" -ne 0 ] && echo "Downloading ""$filename"" failed, please try again later" && rm "$filename"
  fi

I do not see a reason why the file should be deleted or should not exist in the first place.
The continue feature of wget is vastly useful, especially with a slow or unstable connection.
You can also make use of the OR control operator to streamline the logic throughout the script instead of comparing or even saving the return code.

  wget '--header=Cookie: accountToken='"$token" -O "$filename" "$link" -q --show-progress -c -T 5 -t 1 \
    || printf "Downloading "%s" failed, please try again later" "$filename"

Thank you for this script. Saved me a lot of hassle :-)

I honestly don't recall the reason now, but I remember I had to do that to make the code functional. It was one of those "lesser of two evils" situations.

Hi, how to use this script? ./gofile_dl http://gofile.me/5rpBN/xYrGYLjQQ didn't work, told me: ./gofile_dl:9: command not found: rev

This is zsh script, mainly for MacOS. If you need the bash version, use: https://gist.github.com/shawnli87/d416b7c9030293cabfcf4c225cdc5a15

Updated to fix the websiteToken renaming to wt

Not worked in 2024. Use:
