Setup destination directory
# set current directory path as destination directory
$ dl config -p .
# or set other directory
$ dl config -p $HOME/DownloadsNote: If you have destination directory set then all files automatically will be saved there. If you want to override on the fly then use -p . flag to download in the current directory.
By default the destination directory value is empty that means the file will be downloaded in the current directory.
Setup sub-directory/extensions
Note: If destination directory is not set then the sub-directory/extensions will NOT WORK
# set sub-directory based on extensions
# this will create a "binary" diectory inside root directory.
# all downloads with .exe, .dmg extensions will be stored there
$ dl config -s "binary:.exe,.dmg"Setup concurrency
# default concurrency is 5, you can set default value by passing -c flag in config
$ dl config -c 10Default configurations
