synopsis:Server crushing URL retriever

A command-line utility which accepts a list of URLs and retrieves them as quickly as possible. Most of the functionality is provided by webtoolbox.clients.Retriever, which uses Tornado’s non-blocking pycurl-based HTTP client and delivers pretty high performance (thousands of requests per second on my laptop).

--help

Display all available options and full help

--random

Randomize the list of URLs before processing

--repeat=COUNT

Repeat the entire list of URLs COUNT times
