  7. SYNOPSIS
  8. --------
  9. 'aria2c' [OPTIONS] URL|TORRENT_FILE|METALINK_FILE ...
  10. DESCRIPTION
  11. -----------
  12. aria2 is a utility for downloading files. The supported protocols are HTTP(S), FTP, BitTorrent, and Metalink. It has a powerful segmented downloading ability, downloading a file from multiple sources and multiple protocols and utilizing your download bandwidth to the maximum. 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.

  325. A step counter can be omitted.
  326. If all URIs do not point to the same file, such as the second example above,
  327. -Z option is required.

  345. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  346. You can specify multiple URLs in command-line.
  347. Unless you specify -Z option, all URLs must point to the same file or downloading will fail.
  348. You can also specify arbitrary number of torrent files and metalink files
  349. stored in a local drive. Please note that they are always treated as a
  350. separate download.
  351. You can specify both torrent file with -T option and URLs. By doing this,
  352. download a file from both torrent swarm and HTTP(S)/FTP server at the same time,
  353. while the data from HTTP(S)/FTP are uploaded to the torrent swarm. Note that
  354. only single file torrent can be integrated with HTTP(S)/FTP.
  355. [NOTE]
  356. Make sure that URL is quoted with single(\') or double(") quotation if it
  357. contains "&" or any characters that have special meaning in shell.

  548. RESUME DOWNLOAD
  549. ---------------
  550. Usually, you can resume transfer by just issuing same command(aria2c URL)
  551. if the previous transfer is made by aria2.
  552. If the previous transfer is made by a browser or wget like sequencial
  553. download manager, then use -c option to continue the transfer(aria2c -c URL).
  554. CONTROL FILE
  555. ------------
  556. aria2 uses a control file to keep track the progress of download.
  557. A control file is placed at the same directory of the dowloading file and
  558. its filename is the filename of downloading file with ".aria2" appended.
  559. For example, if you are downloading file.zip, then the control file should be
  560. file.zip.aria2.
  561. (There is a exception for this naming convention.
  562. If you are downloading a multi torrent, its control file is the "top directory"
  563. name of the torrent with ".aria2" appended.
  564. The "top directory" name is a value of "name" key in "info" directory in a torrent file.)
  565. Usually a control file is deleted once download completed.
  566. If aria2 decides that download cannot be resumed(for example, when downloading
  567. a file from a HTTP server which doesn't support resume), a control file is
  568. not created.
  569. Normally if you lose a control file, you cannot resume download.
  570. But if you have a torrent or metalink with chunk checksums for the file,
  571. you can resume the download without a control file by giving
  572. --check-integrity=true option to aria2c in command-line.
  573. SEEDING DOWNLOADED FILE IN BITTORRENT
  574. -------------------------------------
  575. You can seed downloaded file using --check-integrity=true option.
  576. ---------------------------------------------
  577. aria2c --check-integrity=true file.torrent
  578. ---------------------------------------------
  579. FILES
  580. -----
  581. aria2.conf
  582. ~~~~~~~~~~
  583. User configuration file.
  584. It must be placed under $HOME/.aria2 and must be named as aria2.conf.
  585. In each line, there is 1 parameter whose syntax is name=value pair,
  586. where name is the long command-line option name without '--' prefix.
  587. The lines beginning '#' are treated as comments.
  588. --------------------------------------
  589. # sample configuration file for aria2c
  590. listen-port=60000
  591. dht-listen-port=60000
  592. seed-ratio=1.0
