CurlAxel - PHP file download accelerator

[CuraHack]

heppinnz: Not yet, I'm looking forward to integrate this script, or such one as this, with Rapidleech

Good job.

As pretty much everyone on here has heard me say before though, choosing PHP to code some application in which has large amounts of data handling and transfer isn't the best idea. Either way you do it, it'll use quite the amount of memory compared to other languages.
.

Unless you use a third party application via it's XML-RPC based API to handle the downloads; then you're just using PHP as an interface of sorts with the file handling being left to the actual application that was designed to do just that

this script can download from filesonic.com, etc. ?

just prepare your cookies, and pass it with setCurlOpts()

Jokerhacker, I don't mean to bother you too much, but can you explain me how I can integrate your script with Rapidleech, so passing on the download properties, and then the download progress back to Rapidleech?

Thank you

(also feel free to contact me by PM or MSN!)

No mean to be an ass, but if someone wants to run this faster, they should use a system command using the software called axel. With cURL, the only upside I can think of is that you can return it into a string faster, but on the user-end it will be just as slow... ? Or is the only advantage just the fact that you don't have to install any extra software? eitherway, congrats on the script, nicely coded.

^oh, and it will be less strain on the server if it was via command line right?

Hi, again, we had this same discussion in another thread, JokerHacker said he could create a PHP based (CURL) download accelerator, that's why he made it.

Feel free to give us some input in this thread, thanks

Well, it's not about bothering me, but to be honest, i have RL's code and i never understood it
Maybe someone who understands it can integrate it

this class would be used for some purposes, maybe someone who wants (as i said before) a very lightweight script yet smart.
I'm working on another one using Aria2 it will be way more efficient

I already did that, somewhere in my collection of random things i've coded

JmZ, if you find it, please post it here:
