在机器学习和数据科学领域，大规模数据集的下载是一个常见但充满挑战的任务。BTCOV 数据集作为加密货币领域的重要研究资源，其规模通常在几十 GB 级别，这给开发者带来了几个典型问题：

网络不稳定 ：长时间下载过程中可能遭遇网络中断
数据完整性风险 ：传输错误可能导致文件损坏
效率低下 ：单线程下载无法充分利用带宽资源
验证困难 ：手动校验大型文件的哈希值耗时且容易出错

常见的下载工具各有优劣：

wget
优点：支持断点续传，命令行简单易用
缺点：缺乏细粒度控制，难以集成到 Python 工作流
curl
优点：功能强大，支持多种协议
缺点：与 wget 类似，不适合需要复杂逻辑的场景
Python requests
优点：完全可控，可与其他 Python 代码无缝集成
缺点：需要自行实现高级功能

对于需要自动化、可编程控制的场景，Python requests 方案提供了最佳的灵活性和扩展性。

关键思路是将大文件分割为多个块，使用线程池并行下载：

import requests
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor

def download_chunk(url, start, end, chunk_file):
    headers = {'Range': f'bytes={start}-{end}'}
    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, stream=True)
    with open(chunk_file, 'wb') as f:
        for chunk in response.iter_content(chunk_size=8192):
            f.write(chunk)

通过检查本地已下载的块文件实现：

import os

def get_existing_chunks(download_dir):
    return [f for f in os.listdir(download_dir) if f.startswith('chunk')]

下载完成后验证文件完整性：

import hashlib

def verify_file(file_path, expected_hash):
    sha256 = hashlib.sha256()
    with open(file_path, 'rb') as f:
        while chunk := f.read(8192):
            sha256.update(chunk)
    return sha256.hexdigest() == expected_hash

import os
import requests
import hashlib
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor

class BTCovDownloader:
    def __init__(self, url, target_file, chunk_size=10*1024*1024, threads=4):
        self.url = url
        self.target_file = target_file
        self.chunk_size = chunk_size
        self.threads = threads
        self.temp_dir = 'temp_chunks'
        os.makedirs(self.temp_dir, exist_ok=True)

    def get_file_size(self):
        response = requests.head(self.url)
        return int(response.headers.get('content-length', 0))

    def download_chunk(self, chunk_index, start, end):
        chunk_file = os.path.join(self.temp_dir, f'chunk_{chunk_index}')
        if os.path.exists(chunk_file):
            return True

        headers = {'Range': f'bytes={start}-{end}'}
        try:
            response = requests.get(self.url, headers=headers, stream=True)
            response.raise_for_status()
            with open(chunk_file, 'wb') as f:
                for chunk in response.iter_content(chunk_size=8192):
                    f.write(chunk)
            return True
        except Exception as e:
            print(f'Error downloading chunk {chunk_index}: {str(e)}')
            return False

    def merge_chunks(self):
        with open(self.target_file, 'wb') as outfile:
            for chunk_index in range(len(self.chunks)):
                chunk_file = os.path.join(self.temp_dir, f'chunk_{chunk_index}')
                with open(chunk_file, 'rb') as infile:
                    outfile.write(infile.read())
                os.remove(chunk_file)

    def download(self):
        file_size = self.get_file_size()
        if file_size == 0:
            raise ValueError('Invalid file size')

        # Calculate chunks
        self.chunks = []
        for i in range(0, file_size, self.chunk_size):
            end = min(i + self.chunk_size - 1, file_size - 1)
            self.chunks.append((i, end))

        # Parallel download
        with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=self.threads) as executor:
            futures = []
            for i, (start, end) in enumerate(self.chunks):
                futures.append(executor.submit(self.download_chunk, i, start, end))

            for future in futures:
                if not future.result():
                    raise RuntimeError('Download failed')

        # Merge chunks
        self.merge_chunks()

        # Clean up
        os.rmdir(self.temp_dir)

太少：无法充分利用带宽
太多：增加服务器负担，可能导致连接被限
建议：4- 8 个线程通常是合理的选择

测试不同线程数的下载速度，找到最佳平衡点：

for threads in [2, 4, 8, 16]:
    start = time.time()
    downloader = BTCovDownloader(url, f'test_{threads}.bin', threads=threads)
    downloader.download()
    duration = time.time() - start
    print(f'{threads} threads: {duration:.2f}s')
