EepGet - a downloader for I2P

EepGet is a free tool for command line and non interactive download of files from the I2P network.

Non-interactive means in this connection, EepGet can work undependent on the other presence of the user in the background. Thereby should be guaranteed that an once pushed data call requires no other user's intervention. Particularly with big files that is an advantage not to be underestimated: EepGet works, while the user rests.

EepGet is developed actively together with I2P to function durably also with slow and unstable network connections. If a download misses because of an uncompleted connection, the connection as long as tries to accept EepGet again, since the download is closed (by pre-setting 5 times). If the questioned server the so named one

EepGet is a Java class which is called about the Shell-Script eepget by the user. If EepGet is called without parameter, it spends an orderly help about the possible options to be used.
