Riking made a Go script that does something there's already a thick client for

I made a script because it was useful. Decided to release it.
You give it a Google Docs file ID and a local filename, and it will download the document to your computer each time you run it.

Very likely, I was just having trouble with how I might use it.
Of course...can you add anonymously shared files to your Drive? It would be useful for files that might be changed that you are unable to add to Drive. Or, if you are creating a WTFery application that needs to reference files on Google Drive?
