.SH "NAME"
aria2c \- The ultra fast download utility
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
aria2c [\fIOPTIONS\fR] [\fIURL\fR | \fITORRENT_FILE\fR | \fIMETALINK_FILE\fR]\&...
.sp
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
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\&.

Usually, you can resume transfer by just issuing same command(aria2c URL) if the previous transfer is made by aria2\&.

.sp
.SH "CONTROL FILE"
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\&.)
.sp
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\&.
.sp
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\&.
