Plowshare is command line applications helps you to download files from many file sharing websites, and upload files as well. I really liked the idea of downloading from file sharing websites using terminal without opening the web browser or seeing any of these pop-up advertising on many of those file sharing websites.
I used it on few file sharing websites listed on plowshare page many of them worked fine for downloading and uploading. Unfortunately it didn’t work on couple websites ” mediafire, zshare ” couldn’t get the key for the uploaded files.
plowshare supports Megaupload, Rapidshare, 2Shared, 4Shared, ZShare, Badongo, Divshare.com, Depositfiles, Mediafire, Netload.in, Storage.to, Uploaded.to, Uploading.com, Sendspace, Usershare, X7.to and some others
