[Settings] OutputFolder=.\Downloads Threads=3 LogEnabled=true Then modify your script to read these values using findstr (batch) or Get-Content (PowerShell). Add integrity checks after each download to ensure file validity:
@echo off title ZXDL Portable Downloader set SCRIPT_DIR=%~dp0 set DOWNLOAD_LIST=%SCRIPT_DIR%links.txt set OUTPUT_DIR=%SCRIPT_DIR%Downloads\ if not exist "%OUTPUT_DIR%" mkdir "%OUTPUT_DIR%" zxdl script portable
curl -L -C - -o "%OUTPUT_DIR%\%%~nxi" "%%i" While standard ZXDL scripts handle HTTP/HTTPS, a portable version can be extended for FTP, magnet links, or even YouTube downloads using yt-dlp (portable edition). Keep all executables inside the same parent folder. Common Use Cases for ZXDL Script Portable The flexibility of ZXDL Portable makes it suitable for various scenarios: Scenario A: Batch Downloading from a Shared Folder A teacher needs to distribute weekly video files to lab computers that have no internet access. The teacher creates a links.txt on a USB drive with intranet URLs. The ZXDL Script Portable downloads all files to each lab machine without installing a download manager. Scenario B: Automated Backup of Remote Logs An IT administrator uses Task Scheduler on a locked-down kiosk PC. Because the kiosk blocks installation, the admin points the scheduled task to F:\ZXDL_Portable\backup_script.bat . The script runs daily, fetching logs and saving them to the USB drive. Scenario C: Web Scraping on Library Computers A researcher needs to scrape public data from government portals. Using a portable ZXDL script combined with a portable Python environment (Embedded Python), the researcher runs the script entirely from a USB stick, leaving no personal data behind.
