A brief introduction to Download Managers in GoLang
1 project | dev.to | 16 May 2021

I wanted a solution that can save the downloaded file to a given file location, resume the download after connection failure, and keep track of the download progress. I was in a bit of a hurry to complete my task, so I decided to use an open-source library (grab) which satisfies the above requirements and supports some more.
