Have a bunch of megaupload links and ever felt the need for a simple, lightweight, text-based/command-line and eminently extensible script which does all the downloading for you?

Your search ends here!
Requirements
- wget: which is present by default in almost linux distros
- ruby and nokogiri: These can be installed as shown here.
Steps
- Save the script as megaupload_dm.rb
- Make it executable using chmod +x megaupload_dm.rb
- Install the dependencies
- Dump all your megaupload links to a file named megaupload_list.txt in the current directory. You can also insert any content or comments in this file
- Tweak the LinkFile and OutputDirectory variables to your liking.
- Limit the download rate by adding --limit-rate=100k to the wget command at line #43 (optional)
- Run it using ./megaupload_dm.rb
- Your files are downloaded to ~/Downloads directory!
