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. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: This release adds the ability to specify any number of URIs, torrents, and metalinks in a command-line. The option to set user-defined HTTP headers was added. Transparent Metalink and connection reuse for HTTP/FTP downloads are supported. A download progress summary can be output at a given interval. The option to suppress any console output was added.
