Configuring

eso-downloader uses an .ini file to work out what to do for each program requested to be downloaded. The DEFAULT section specifies what the default values of each setting should be.

If you need to use different paths or different usernames for particular programs, you can add sections for specific programs. For example, to override the username (and hence password) to use for a specific program, do:

[103.20AX.101]
username = <some other username>

or to save a program to a different path, do:

[98.13BA.215]
base_dir = <some other directory>

In the future, more options may become available.

Current Options

username

The username to use for finding and downloading the data for an ESO program. This must have a matching password stored by keyring.

base_dir

The base path as to where to save the data downloaded for a program. Does not have to exist before eso-downloader is run.
