About vget

vget is a small, focused command-line downloader written in Go. Point it at a link — Twitter/X, a podcast — or a WebDAV resource library such as PikPak, a NAS, a seedbox, or anyone's shared library, and it fetches the file. The tool stays deliberately simple; the value is the resource libraries it connects to, reached over standard protocols rather than by scraping.

Key Features

Media links & WebDAV libraries: Twitter/X, podcasts (Xiaoyuzhou FM, Apple Podcasts), direct file URLs, and any WebDAV resource library (PikPak, NAS, seedbox)
WebDAV resource libraries: Browse and download from any WebDAV server; non-WebDAV drives (Baidu, Quark, …) via OpenList/Alist
Self-update Capability: Keep vget up-to-date with a single command
Podcast Search: Search and discover podcasts directly from the command line
Multilingual Interface: Available in 7 languages
Cross-platform: Works on macOS, Linux/WSL, and Windows
