</div>
<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="para"><p>aria2 is a utility for downloading files. The supported protocols are HTTP(S), FTP, BitTorrent, and Metalink. aria2 can download a file from multiple sources/protocols and tries to utilize your maximum download bandwidth. It supports downloading a file from HTTP(S)/FTP and BitTorrent at the same time, while the data downloaded from HTTP(S)/FTP is uploaded to the BitTorrent swarm. Using Metalink's chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of data while downloading a file like BitTorrent.</p></div>

  <em>feedback</em> and <em>adaptive</em>.  If <em>inorder</em> is given, URI is tried in
  the order appeared in the URI list.  If <em>feedback</em> is given, aria2
  uses download speed observed in the previous downloads and choose
  fastest server in the URI list. This also effectively skips dead
  mirrors. The observed download speed is a part of performance
  profile of servers mentioned in <strong>--server-stat-of</strong> and
  <strong>--server-stat-if</strong> options.  If <em>adaptive</em> is given, selects one of
  the best mirrors for the first and reserved connections.  For
  supplementary ones, it returns mirrors which has not been tested
  yet, and if each of them has already been tested, returns mirrors
  which has to be tested again. Otherwise, it doesn't select anymore
  mirrors. Like <em>feedback</em>, it uses a performance profile of servers.
  Default: <em>inorder</em>

<h2 id="_control_file">CONTROL FILE</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="para"><p>aria2 uses a control file to track the progress of a download.
A control file is placed in the same directory as the downloading file and
its filename is the filename of downloading file with ".aria2" appended.
For example, if you are downloading file.zip, then the control file should be
file.zip.aria2.
(There is a exception for this naming convention.
If you are downloading a multi torrent, its control file is the "top directory"
name of the torrent with ".aria2" appended.
The "top directory" name is a value of "name" key in "info" directory in a torrent file.)</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>Usually a control file is deleted once download completed.
If aria2 decides that download cannot be resumed(for example, when downloading
a file from a HTTP server which doesn't support resume), a control file is
not created.</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>Normally if you lose a control file, you cannot resume download.
But if you have a torrent or metalink with chunk checksums for the file,
you can resume the download without a control file by giving
-V option to aria2c in command-line.</p></div>

You can specify multiple URIs for a single entity:
separate URIs on a single line using the TAB character.</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>Each line is treated as if it is provided in command-line argument.
Therefore they are affected by <strong>-Z</strong> and <strong>-P</strong> options.
The additional <strong>out</strong> and <strong>dir</strong> options can be specified after each line of
URIs. This optional line must start with white space(s).</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>For example, the content of uri.txt is</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><tt>http://server/file.iso http://mirror/file.iso
  dir=/iso_images
  out=file.img
http://foo/bar</tt></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="para"><p>If aria2 is executed with <strong>-i</strong> uri.txt <strong>-d</strong> /tmp options,
then <em>file.iso</em> is saved as <em>/iso_images/file.img</em> and it is downloaded from
http://server/file.iso and http://mirror/file.iso.
The file <em>bar</em> is downloaded from http://foo/bar and saved as <em>/tmp/bar</em>.</p></div>
