It presently 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. - -tesseract, js and PerlMagick are optional runtime dependecies for some sites. -See the plowshare website for details. +Plowshare is a set of command-line tools (written entirely in Bash shell +script) designed for managing file-sharing websites (aka Hosters). + +Plowshare itself doesn't support any websites. It's just the core engine. +Support for websites are added via modules. They are available separately +and it's recommended to be installed by the user rather than system-wide. +It can be installed/updated by the user to ~/.config/plowshare/modules.d/ +directory using: + +$ plowmod --install +$ plowmod --update + +However, if you'd like them system-wide, please see the plowshare-modules +SBo package. Modules will be installed to /usr/share/plowshare/modules/ + +Per INSTALL, either rhino or sunspider (the latter is not available on SBo) +are optional runtime dependencies. It is stated they are required for some +sites. However, I have not come across any that didn't work. Let me know +if it should become a required dependency. |
