Aria2 Build in progress

ionoff 15 Oct 2007 23:31

Aria2c is my favorite alternative to wget that supports many different protocols.
It even has segmented downloads.
Supported protocols are HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/BitTorrent/Metalink v3

Coupled with screen and a few bash aliases… it makes a great bit torrent client.

I am in the process of compiling it… I will let you know the results….

If you want to learn more about it in the meanwhile… the project is located at http://aria2.sourceforge.net/

4hrs later and still compiling

---

next morning
gcc crashed… may have to cross compile

no actually I ran out of time, but the last thing I was working on was a portable cross compiling suite using qemu, but all my binaries came out not to work on the mybook, I may be trying to work with the wrong arm emulation.

I tried to compile it too, but 20MB of ram if so few to compile such program, so swapping was overexosting. After few hours I stoped. Maybe someone has cross compiled it ? (Or will)

Hi to all i learn much from the forum so here its my "payback" actually its not my guide but ftso from Greek Ubuntu formum THANKS
For those like me that want to download with rapishare … i have manage to install aria2 (optware) and use it with success its very very easy …
1) Install it with optware
ipkg update
ipkg install aria2
2) create a folder called .aria2 at home
mkdir /home/.aria2/

3) create a file called aria2.conf inside (if i recall must be…
nano /home/.aria2/aria2.conf
4) put inside
http-user=rapidshare login
http-passwd=rapidshare pass
http-auth-challenge=false
enable-http-pipelining=true
dir=/shares/internals/PUBLIC/Downloads "download folder"
max-upload-limit=20K
5) create a shell script
nano /home/aria2/whatever.sh
6) Put inside
#!/bin/sh
aria2c -c —conf-path= /home/.aria2/aria2.conf -i /shares/internals/PUBLIC/Downloads/downloads.txt -j4 "donwloads.txt is the file that you have to put all the links …"
7) make whatever.sh executable
chmod +x /home/.aria2/whatever
8) Play !!!!
/home/.aria2/whatever.sh

Cheers

For users who don't have a premium account with RapidShare, you can still use also "slimrat"¹ (available from the optware packages). It can also manage downloads from file hosting servers like DepositFiles, Megaupload, MediaFire, etc… but I haven't tried aria2 or slimrat myself.

On the topic about downloads, see also this interesting thread :
"Release: multiple downloads at once using built-in downloader"
