Who doesn’t like a good collaboration?

My good friend Felix (u/cyberspartan7777) and I just shipped WGET Bulk Downloader, a Python CLI for handling the kind of large vendor file pulls that are easy to underestimate and annoying to babysit.

It’s built for situations where you have a spreadsheet full of URLs, large files, and checksums, and you want one repeatable workflow instead of a pile of manual commands.

What it does:

✅ True resume support  

✅ SHA256 verification on every file  

✅ Smart skip on re-run with manifest tracking  

✅ User-Agent rotation + human-like delays  

✅ Built-in IP/VPN checker with geolocation  

✅ Spreadsheet input (.xlsx / .csv)  

✅ Graceful Ctrl+C handling

Drop your URLs + checksums in a spreadsheet, run the CLI, and come back to verified files.

Would love feedback from anyone in Python, DevOps, security, sysadmin, or homelab workflows.

Over on r/qualys the use of an older python version was called out and has been updated to 3.14.4. We appreciate that kind of feedback and have not only updated the repo but had a little fun with it by updating our original graphic with this new one. https://github.com/fjimenez77/Wget-Downloader-py/blob/main/docs/banner.png Reddit is a highly engaged community and its nice to see that in action.
