examples
nugget http://foo.com/bar.jpg
# downloads bar.jpg and stores it in the current directory
or
nugget http://foo.com/bar.jpg -O baz.jpg
# saves it as baz.jpg. you can also do lowercase -o
if you get a statusCode of 300 or greater nugget will stop. you can force it to stream the response into a file anyway by doing nugget http://404link.com/file.html -f or --force works too
you can also download multiple files, just pass multiple urls:
