how do you download a specific file from an item?

[ofsaleem]

the archive.org docs for the python ia show that you can download a specific file by doing ia download item filename

but when i try that with goia it just downloads the entire item (which contains many many files)

is there a use case where going directly to the website for this would not be ideal?

i found your tool from a reddit thread where they suggested it was much faster than downloading via web, so i assume that would be why. using jdownloader i was able (since it opens multiple connections?) to get about 10x the rate i was getting via directly web, so i thought goia might give a speed boost too. but if not, then no, probably no use case :)

this is correct and where I presume most of the speedup is coming from along with IA using load balancers. so over a single file I don't think you'd see the same speedup. happy to be proved wrong though if anyone has seen otherwise

welcome! and happy to hear you've been having a good time with the tool 😄
