aria2 is a software for downloading files.

The transfer can be paused, resumed, queued, and saved. It has a friendly GTK-based GUI and useful log consoles.

It supports URL list importing, CRC checking, HTTP proxy servers, HTTP recursive downloads with various useful options, and cut-and-pasting. It can also handle annoying CGI fake download pages.

Here are some key features of "aria2":
Command-line interface
HTTP/HTTPS GET support
HTTP Proxy support
HTTP BASIC authentication support
HTTP Proxy authentication support(using GET or CONNECT)
FTP downloading support
FTP via HTTP proxy(using GET or CONNECT)
Segmented downloading
Cookie support(currently aria2 ignores "expires")
It can run as a daemon process.
Very low resource usage

What's New in This Release:
This release adds multipe < file > Metalink support, and a location preference command line option for Metalink and BitTorrent MultiTracker extension support.
It fixes a lot of bugs.
