HTTP File Downloader (python, written by Gemini Code Assist)

Gemini Code Assist wrote this python project from the task below. It does not run on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: HTTP File Downloader

Write a program that downloads files from HTTP/HTTPS URLs with support for resumable downloads, progress tracking, concurrent downloads, and checksum verification.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept one or more URLs as command-line arguments
- Display a progress bar during download showing: percentage complete, bytes downloaded, total size, download speed, and estimated time remaining
- Support resumable downloads via HTTP Range headers: if a download is interrupted, restarting with the same URL and output path should resume from where it stopped via --resume flag
- Support concurrent downloading of multiple files via --parallel flag with configurable thread count (--threads, default 4)
- Support downloading all URLs listed in a text file (one URL per line) via --list flag
- Verify downloaded file integrity via --checksum flag accepting algorithm:hash format (e.g., --checksum sha256:abc123...)
- Support custom HTTP headers via --header flag (e.g., --header "Authorization: Bearer token")
- Support following HTTP redirects (up to 10 hops) and report the final URL
- Set connection timeout via --timeout flag (default 30 seconds) and retry failed downloads via --retries flag (default 3) with exponential backoff
- Save files to a directory specified by --output flag (default: current directory), using the filename from the URL or Content-Disposition header
- Print a download summary to console: file name, size, time taken, average speed, and checksum verification result
- If no URLs are given, download a set of sample public domain text files from Project Gutenberg, display progress for each, and print a summary table
- Handle errors: DNS resolution failures, SSL certificate errors, HTTP 4xx/5xx responses, disk full, and network timeouts

Create a complete Python project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only Python 3.10+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- requirements.txt with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output

# HTTP File Downloader (Python)

A robust tool for downloading files with support for resumable downloads and parallel processing.

## Setup Instructions

1. Ensure Python 3.10+ is installed.
2. Create a virtual environment:
   ```bash
   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   ```
3. Install dependencies:
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

## Run Commands

- **Download single file**:
  ```bash
  python downloader.py https://example.com/data.zip
  ```
- **Parallel downloads**:
  ```bash
  python downloader.py url1 url2 url3 --parallel 3
  ```
- **Run Demo**:
  ```bash
  python downloader.py
  ```

## Features
- **Resumable**: Uses HTTP Range headers to pick up where it left off.
- **Progress Bars**: Interactive visual feedback using `tqdm`.
- **Parallel**: Concurrent downloads using a thread pool.
