pyLoad is a free and open-source download manager that is designed to download files from several one-click file hosting sites like Rapidshare, Megaupload, and many others. It is written in Python and packs tons of features that provide users with a seamless experience.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to install pyLoad on OpenBSD.
Before proceeding with the installation of pyLoad, ensure that the following prerequisites are met in your system:
sudo privilegesBefore installing pyLoad on OpenBSD, it's essential to update your system. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pkg_add -uU
Wait for the system to update.
To install Python and pip, use the command:
sudo pkg_add python3 py3-pip
For better management of Python packages, create a virtual environment. Run the following command:
python3 -m venv pyLoad-env
This will create a new virtual environment named pyLoad-env.
Now, activate the virtual environment:

You have successfully installed pyLoad on OpenBSD, configured it and started it. You can now easily download files using pyLoad with an excellent, user-friendly interface.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
