Use bitsadmin to download via the command line on Windows 7 (8?)

bitsadmin.md

Download via the command line on Windows 7

If you want to test your connection or have some other reason to use the command line to download a file, this is how.

See http://superuser.com/a/284147 for more information.

Open cmd.exe and use this format:

bitsadmin /transfer debjob /download /priority normal http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/i386/iso-hybrid/debian-live-8.7.1-i386-xfce-desktop.iso D:\Users\[Username]\Downloads\debian-live-8.7.1-i386-xfce-desktop.iso

You should get something like this:

You can view the current download rate and file size. When the download is complete see your Downloads folder for the file.

Thanks!

Is there any way we can show UI as well..?

facing this problem. I think i have to enable tls 1.2 because maybe bitsadmin does not support tls1.2 by default in cmd. though i have already enabled tls 1.2 in my machine.

Hi how can i download a folder from G-Drive and name it mods?

You have available a Command-line utility for working with Google Drive in github here:

https://github.com/google/skicka
Examples:

skicka download /folder1 ~/folder2

The contents of your ~/folder2 directory will match the contents of ~/folder1.

For download to local:

skicka download /local ~/remote

YOU HAVE TO SET NETWORK METERED CONNECTION OFF TO ENABLE TRANSFER
