aria2 - CLI Metalink/BitTorrent client / News: Recent posts

aria2 is a lightweight multi-protocol & multi-source, cross platform download utility operated in command-line. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink.

This releases adds SFTP support, and fixes several bugs. SFTP support
has been implemented using libssh2. We added several new options.
--multiple-interface option is like --interface option, but can take
several interfaces. They are used in round-robin manner, and it works
like link aggregation. Previously, .netrc search path is fixed under
$HOME directory, and cannot be changed. In this release, --netrc-path
option has been added to override the search path. The runtime bug
concerning getrandom has been fixed in this release. Previously if
download failed because checksum error, aria2 exited with error code 1
(unknown error). Now it exits with dedicated error code 32. We fixed
long outstanding bug that aria2 crashes when downloading multi-file
torrent.

downloads when counting concurrent active downloads (-j option). We
disabled SSLv3 by default. If you ever want to enable it or further
tune the TLS protocols to enable, use new --min-tls-version option.
--bt-force-encryption option was added to make requiring BitTorrent
full encryption easier. From this release, we build Android binary
using API level 16.

overrides where the aria2c bash_completion file is going to be
installed. All manual pages are now generated by Sphinx.

when the number of pieces is very large in BitTorrent. It also allows
missing <params> element in XML-RPC request as specified in XML-RPC
specification. Also in XML-RPC, <i4> and <int> elements must be 32
bits signed integer from this release. The --deferred-input option
was added. It prevents aria2 from reading all URIs from -i file, and
makes aria2 read URI one by one as it is needed. This will save memory
usage if -i file contains lots of URIs. Windows UNC path support was
added.
