| Description: | OBSOLETE use aria2 instead (1.9.0-1) | |
aria2 is a utility for downloading files. The supported protocols are
HTTP(S), FTP, BitTorrent (DHT, PEX, MSE/PE), and Metalink.
It can download one or more files individually or from multiple
sources/protocols at the same time and tries to utilize your maximum
download bandwidth (by using multiple threads and downloading data from
HTTP(S)/FTP, while also uploading to the BitTorrent swarm).
Using Metalink's chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks
of data while downloading a file like BitTorrent.
There are other alternative applications. But aria2 has 2 distinctive
features: (1) aria2 can download a file from several
URLs(http/ftp/BitTorrent) and (2) If you give aria2 list of URLs, then
aria2 downloads them concurrently. You don't have to wait for the
current download queue to finish one file at a time anymore. aria2 uses
your maximum bandwidth and downloads files quickly. | ||
