NAME
       slimrat - Command-line utility for downloading files

VERSION
       1.0

DESCRIPTION
	 Command-line download manager, capable of downloading files from
	 several free download providers.

SYNOPSIS
	 slimrat [OPTION...] [LINK]...

OPTIONS
       --help
		 Prints a summary how to use the client.

       --man
		 Prints a manual how to use the client.

       --daemon
		 Makes slimrat work in the background, by properly forking and redirecting
		 the output to a specified logfile. Only one file can be backgrounded at a
		 time, to support multiple instances you'll need to specify differend
		 state files to save the instances PID in.

       --kill
		 Kills a single active client, by looking up the PID in a predefined state file.

       --list
		 Uses the given file as a queue-file containing URLs.

       --check
		 Do not download the loaded URLs, just check them.

       --to
		 Specifies the target directory for the downloaded files.

       --address
		 Makes the download client bind to a specific address.

       --config
		 Load custom configuration file.

       --debug
		 Enables maximal verbosity, which includes a lot of text on the screen and the generation
		 of an additional dump archive.
		 WARNING: do not use this option by default, as it keeps a whole lot of extra information
			  in memory (including _all_ downloaded items).

       --quiet
		 Makes slimrat less verbose, only displaying errors and warnings.

EXAMPLES
	 slimrat http://rapidshare.com/files/012345678/somefile.xxx
