How to use it

madodl is designed to be simple to use.

Download all of Berserk:

$ madodl -m berserk

Download volume 10 of Berserk:

$ madodl -m berserk v10

The -m switch can be used as many times as needed:

$ madodl -m one v1 -m two v1 c3 -m three # etc.

Multiple volumes/chapters can be specified with ranges and commas. Some examples:

# volumes 1 to 5
v1-5

# all volumes from 5 to latest volume
v5-

# volumes 1-5, 7 and 12
v1-5,7,12

# half-volumes
v1-5.5,10.5-12

Chapters use this same exact format. Volumes and chapters are separated as separate arguments on the command-line. If there are volumes and chapters that aren't separated with a space, madodl doesn't make any assumptions and just splits the two as normal.

$ madodl -m berserk v3,4 c150-165

is the same as

$ madodl -m berserk v3,4,c150-165

madodl tries to be flexible about ranges. For example, if a range is non-increasing, the end will be interpreted in the same magnitude as the start.

v10-5
# will be seen as
v10-15

Also, the numbers need not be in increasing order:

# perfectly valid
ch1,20,3,10,5

The default folder to store downloaded manga is specified in the config file. If this option is empty, madodl defaults to the current working directory. You can override the default with the -o switch on the command-line:

$ madodl -m berserk v1 -o /home/user/manga

Configuring

madodl looks for the config file in a few common locations.
