See http://superuser.com/a/284147 for more information.

Open cmd.exe and use this format:

bitsadmin /transfer debjob /download /priority normal http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/i386/iso-hybrid/debian-live-8.7.1-i386-xfce-desktop.iso D:\Users\[Username]\Downloads\debian-live-8.7.1-i386-xfce-desktop.iso

You should get something like this:

debjob

You can view the current download rate and file size. When the download is complete see your Downloads folder for the file.

You have available a Command-line utility for working with Google Drive in github here:

https://github.com/google/skicka
Examples:

skicka download /folder1 ~/folder2

The contents of your ~/folder2 directory will match the contents of ~/folder1.

For download to local:

skicka download /local ~/remote

YOU HAVE TO SET NETWORK METERED CONNECTION OFF TO ENABLE TRANSFER
