<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><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&#8217;s
chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of data while
downloading a file like BitTorrent.</p></div>
</div>
<h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">

</dt>
<dd>
<p>

</dt>
<dd>
<p>

  Default: <em>0</em>
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>--max-file-not-found</strong>=NUM
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
  If aria2 receives &#8216;file not found&#8217; status from the remote HTTP/FTP
  servers NUM times without getting a single byte, then force the
  download to fail. Specify <em>0</em> to disable this option. This options is
  effective only when using HTTP/FTP servers.
  Default: <em>0</em>
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-m</strong>, <strong>--max-tries</strong>=N

<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-R</strong>, <strong>--remote-time</strong>[=<em>true</em>|<em>false</em>]

  Default: <em>false</em>
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>--server-stat-of</strong>=FILE
</dt>
<dd>
<p>

  <strong>Server Performance Profile</strong> subsection below for file format.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>--server-stat-if</strong>=FILE
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
  Specify the filename to load performance profile of the servers. The

  See also <strong>--uri-selector</strong> option. See <strong>Server Performance Profile</strong>
  subsection below for file format.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>--server-stat-timeout</strong>=SEC
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
  Specifies timeout in seconds to invalidate performance profile of
  the servers since the last contact to them.
  Default: <em>86400</em> (24hours)
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-s</strong>, <strong>--split</strong>=N
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
  Download a file using N connections.
  If more than N URLs are given, first N URLs are used and remaining URLs are
  used for backup.
  If less than N URLs are given, those URLs are used more than once so that N
  connections total are made simultaneously.
  Please see <strong>-j</strong> option too.
  Please note that in Metalink download, this option has no effect and use
  <strong>-C</strong> option instead.
  Default: <em>5</em>
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-t</strong>, <strong>--timeout</strong>=SEC
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
  Set timeout in seconds.
  Default: <em>60</em>
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>--uri-selector</strong>=SELECTOR
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
  Specify URI selection algorithm. The possible values are <em>inorder</em>,
  <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&#8217;t select anymore
  mirrors. Like <em>feedback</em>, it uses a performance profile of servers.
  Default: <em>feedback</em>

<strong>--file-allocation</strong>=METHOD
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
  Specify file allocation method.
  <em>none</em> doesn&#8217;t pre-allocate file space. <em>prealloc</em> pre-allocates file space
  before download begins. This may take some time depending on the size of the
  file.
  If you are using newer file systems such as ext4
  (with extents support), btrfs or xfs, <em>falloc</em> is
  your best choice. It allocates large(few GiB)
  files almost instantly. Don&#8217;t use <em>falloc</em> with
  legacy file systems such as ext3 because it takes
  almost same time as <em>prealloc</em> and it blocks aria2
  entirely until allocation finishes. <em>falloc</em> may
  not be available if your system doesn&#8217;t have
  <strong>posix_fallocate</strong>() function.
  Possible Values: <em>none</em>, <em>prealloc</em>, <em>falloc</em>

<div class="paragraph"><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="paragraph"><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&#8217;t support resume), a control
file is not created.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><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>

  GID(or gid) is the key to manage each download. Each download has an
  unique GID. Currently GID looks like an integer, but don&#8217;t treat it
  as integer because it may be changed to another type in the future

<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>aria2.addUri</strong> <em>uris[, options[, position]]</em></p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This method adds new HTTP(S)/FTP/BitTorrent Magnet URI with this
method.  <em>uris</em> is of type array and its element is URI which is of
type string.  For BitTorrent Magnet URI, <em>uris</em> must have one element
only and it should be BitTorrent Magnet URI.  <em>options</em> is of type
struct and its members are a pair of option name and value. See
<strong>Options</strong> below for more details.  If <em>position</em> is given as an
integer starting from 0, the new download is inserted at <em>position</em> in
the waiting queue. If <em>position</em> is not given or <em>position</em> is larger
than the size of the queue, it is appended at the end of the queue.
This method returns GID of registered download.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>aria2.addTorrent</strong> <em>torrent[, uris[, options[, position]]]</em></p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This method adds BitTorrent download by uploading .torrent file.
<em>torrent</em> is of type base64 which contains Base64-encoded .torrent
file.  <em>uris</em> is of type array and its element is URI which is of type
string. <em>uris</em> is used for Web-seeding.  For single file torrents, URI
can be a complete URI pointing to the resource or if URI ends with /,
name in torrent file is added. For multi-file torrents, name and path
in torrent are added to form a URI for each file.  <em>options</em> is of
type struct and its members are a pair of option name and value. See
<strong>Options</strong> below for more details.  If <em>position</em> is given as an
integer starting from 0, the new download is inserted at <em>position</em> in
the waiting queue. If <em>position</em> is not given or <em>position</em> is larger
than the size of the queue, it is appended at the end of the queue.
This method returns GID of registered download.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>aria2.addMetalink</strong> <em>metalink[, options[, position]]</em></p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This method adds Metalink download by uploading .metalink file.
<em>metalink</em> is of type base64 which contains Base64-encoded .metalink
file.  <em>options</em> is of type struct and its members are a pair of
option name and value. See <strong>Options</strong> below for more details.  If
<em>position</em> is given as an integer starting from 0, the new download is
inserted at <em>position</em> in the waiting queue. If <em>position</em> is not
given or <em>position</em> is larger than the size of the queue, it is
appended at the end of the queue.  This method returns array of GID of
