Asynchronous Requests and Downloads Without Thinking About It
>>> import aiodownload
>>> urls = ['https://httpbin.org/links/{}'.format(i) for i in range(0, 5)]
>>> bundles = aiodownload.swarm(urls)
>>>
>>> import pprint
>>> pprint.pprint(dict((b.url, b.file_path, ) for b in bundles))
{'https://httpbin.org/links/0': 'C:\\\\httpbin.org\\links\\0',
'https://httpbin.org/links/1': 'C:\\\\httpbin.org\\links\\1',
'https://httpbin.org/links/2': 'C:\\\\httpbin.org\\links\\2',
'https://httpbin.org/links/3': 'C:\\\\httpbin.org\\links\\3',
'https://httpbin.org/links/4': 'C:\\\\httpbin.org\\links\\4'}
Default Request Strategy (Lenient)
two concurrent requests with 0.25 s delay between requests
automatically retry unsuccessful requests up to 4 more times with 60 s between attempts
response statuses greater than 400 are considered unsuccessful requests
404s are not retried (if they tell us it's not found, let's believe them)
Default Download Strategy
read and write 65536 byte chunks at a time
uses the current working directory as home path to write files
relative path and filename are a transformation of the url path segments (the last segment being the filename)
