Geminitrack, to retrieve an entire Gemini capsule

`geminitrack` is a command-line client to retrieve an entire Gemini capsule, for instance to take a backup. It is part of the Agunua library.

Usage

geminitrack URL

And the files will be downloaded to the current directory, in a subdirectory named from the capsule name. The files will be named from the Gemini URL with some caveats (see later). The program limits itself to URLs which start with the original URL. So, it will never go to another capsule, for instance. `geminitrack` does not modify the files at all, so some internal links may break (for instance links to directories, links with queries, etc).

By default, it limits the number of files downloaded and the time spent, mostly to preserve the remote server. *Don't change this behaviour unless you know the remote capsule authorizes it.*

Download is unconditional: whether or not there already exist a file in the destination directory, it will be written over.

Warning: characters in the URL path must be letters, digits and a few others. Everything else will be replaced with underscores.

Options

Licence, author, reference site, etc
