In my mind,a program like this is an ideal solution to the usability problemspeople have cited with rare things like downloading konpeito.mediareleases using the more interactive clients. I'd love to give this a spin, but it's not building for me - or rather,the github.com/schollz/progressbar dependency isn't building. Which isprobably just my "ancient" Debian stable version of Go...
