steakboy Posted January 31 Posted January 31 (edited) Is there any sort of "download manager" where I can download files directly to a folder in HexOS? I have about 2TB of data in Microsoft OneDrive, and another 1TB in Google Drive that I want to transfer to HexOS for local storage. I know I could just download this to my computer, then manually move. But I'd rather a direct process, as I can see this as a recurring need. I do not want any sort of "sync", or data mirroring. I do not want to use Google Drive/OneDrive for this data anymore. Since its not a torrent, I cant use qBittorrent. So is there some similar download manager tool that I can install to HexOS (using the TrueNAS interface probably) where I can just put in a URL of a file, and it will download it to my NAS?

The more I look into it, the more I have that same reaction "pain". 😂 A friend recommended a download manager on my desktop (Motrix) and just changing the download location to be directly the server instead of downloads folder. 1 Quote
Mobius Posted January 31 Posted January 31 (edited) it used to not be so annoying but the one drive sync feature got depreciated a year-ish ago google drive shouldn't be so bad Edited January 31 by Mobius Quote
Dylan Posted February 11 Posted February 11 @steakboy Use Rsync between local hosts, wget fur URL downloads and curl if you need more advanced protocol or API support. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-between-wget-vs-curl/ https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/rsync-command-in-linux-with-examples/?ref=header_outind 1 Quote
