I\'m trying to create a Python function that does the same thing as this wget command:

-c

Answer 1

Let me Improve a example with threads in case you want download many files.

import math
import random
import threading

import requests
from clint.textui import progress

# You must define a proxy list
# I suggests https://free-proxy-list.net/
proxies = {
    0: {'http': 'http://34.208.47.183:80'},
    1: {'http': 'http://40.69.191.149:3128'},
    2: {'http': 'http://104.154.205.214:1080'},
    3: {'http': 'http://52.11.190.64:3128'}
}


# you must define the list for files do you want download
videos = [
    "https://i.stack.imgur.com/g2BHi.jpg",
    "https://i.stack.imgur.com/NURaP.jpg"
]

downloaderses = list()


def downloaders(video, selected_proxy):
    print("Downloading file named {} by proxy {}...".format(video, selected_proxy))
    r = requests.get(video, stream=True, proxies=selected_proxy)
    nombre_video = video.split("/")[3]
    with open(nombre_video, 'wb') as f:
        total_length = int(r.headers.get('content-length'))
        for chunk in progress.bar(r.iter_content(chunk_size=1024), expected_size=(total_length / 1024) + 1):
            if chunk:
                f.write(chunk)
                f.flush()


for video in videos:
    selected_proxy = proxies[math.floor(random.random() * len(proxies))]
    t = threading.Thread(target=downloaders, args=(video, selected_proxy))
    downloaderses.append(t)

for _downloaders in downloaderses:
    _downloaders.start()
