A simple node-based tool to rapidly consume network bandwidth by streaming large public files without ever saving them to your hard drive.
- Zero Disk Usage: Discards downloaded data immediately from RAM. It never writes anything to your hard drive.
- Background Mode: Automatically detaches from the terminal on startup and runs silently from your system tray.
- Customizable Targets: Reads download URLs directly from
links.txt(one per line). If the file is empty or missing, just add your own links. - Dashboard: Includes a control panel to manage concurrent streams, throttle speed, and view bandwidth usage metrics.
- Make sure you have Node.js installed.
- Install the necessary dependencies:
bash npm install - Start the application:
bash npm start - The terminal will close automatically. Look for the DataWaster icon (Fire logo) down in your Windows system tray.
- Click the tray icon to start or stop the data consumption, configure your settings or to hide DataWaster Ui.
Note : If Terminal does not close Automatically wait for this to show then close it:
C:\Users\voiid\Data-Waster>npm install
C:\Users\voiid\Data-Waster>npm start
> data-waster@1.0.0 start
> node -e "const p=require('path');require('child_process').spawn(process.execPath, [p.join(p.dirname(require.resolve('electron')), 'cli.js'), '.'], { detached: true, stdio: 'ignore' }).unref();"
C:\Users\voiid\Data-Waster>
[NOW YOU CAN CLOSE IT]
