Hello Geminauts!

I found out about Gemini through the recent Hacker News post, and I
couldn't resist exploring and making something for it.

I'm using both Castor and Bombadillo for browsing Gemini, and neither
of them really did what I wanted in terms of downloading. There's no
indication of progress, so it feels a bit like the client has frozen
up, until I see the file saved, or some application open.

For that and other reasons, I decided to create a command line
downloader for Gemini, similar to wget but much simpler at the moment.
It's available at https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/gemget/
and is written in Go, with binaries available.

I'm somewhat new to Go and Gemini, so I'd appreciate any suggestions
or bug reports a lot.

Happy hacking!
