This program is a download accelerator primarily inspired by
[huydx/hget](https://github.com/huydx/hget).  Essentially, I was bored one
night and now here we are.  Barring any bugs, rget should work on both Windows
and Unix-like platforms.

Features
--------

* [x] Downloads remote files using HTTP and HTTPS
* [ ] Downloads files using FTP
* [ ] Downloads files using Rsync
* [ ] Saves incomplete downloads to be resumed later (partially set up)
* [ ] Verifies the integrity of file downloads
* [x] Uses multiple connections to potentially speed up downloads
* [x] Displays download progress using a progress bar
* [ ] Cleanly handles all known errors

In addition to incomplete features, because rget is in very early stages of
development, there will likely be bugs (in fact, I _know_ there are bugs).
Please join me in squashing these bugs so we can all download files in peace.

Requirements
------------

* A post-1.0 version of [Rust](https://rust-lang.org) (not sure which is the
oldest that will work)
