JPartialDownloader

A Java HTTP[S]/FTP/BitTorrent partial downloader.

Introduction

JPartialDownloader is a Java Program for downloading files using HTTP[S]/FTP/BitTorrent protocols. It support many features like resuming unfinished downloads and retrying. It also supports multi-connection HTTP[S]/FTP downloads. Anyone who needs downloading files using any of these protocols might find this program useful.

But what makes this program different from similar programs is that you can download any part of a file. Using partial downloading feature you can download large files in smaller pieces and later merge the pieces together to reconstruct the main file. This feature might be useful when you are low on disk space on your downloading computer or when you are interested only in a part of a file.

There are extra functionalities for BitTorrent downloads. Sometimes you want to download only some of the files of a multi-file torrent. With JPD you can select the files you want to be downloaded while adding the download. The program downloads the parts containing those files and afterwards extracts the wanted files from them.
