## Uploadcare CLI: `file download` command

The CLI can now download files from the Uploadcare CDN to the local filesystem.

```bash
# Download a single file
uploadcare file download <uuid> --output ./photo.jpg

# Mirror all stored files into ./backup with 8 parallel workers
uploadcare file list --page-all --stored true --json uuid \
  | uploadcare file download --from-stdin --output-dir ./backup --parallel 8
```

Supports streaming to stdout, batch downloads with templated filenames
(`${uuid}`, `${filename}`, `${ext}`, `${effects}`), CDN effects on images,
concurrent downloads, progress reporting, and `--dry-run`.

See the [file download reference](/docs/cli/reference/file/#file-download) for the full flag list.
