Metalink
--------
The current implementation supports HTTP(S)/FTP/BitTorrent. The other
P2P protocols are ignored.
For checksum verification, MD5, SHA1, and SHA256 are supported. If
multiple hash algorithms are provided, aria2 uses SHA1. If whole file
checksum verification fails, aria2 doesn't retry the download and just
exits with non-zero return code.

The supported user preferences are version, language, location,

In Metalink4, multi-file torrent could appear in metalink:metaurl
element. Since aria2 cannot download 2 same torrents at the same
time, aria2 groups files in metalink:file element which has same
BitTorrent metaurl and downloads them from a single BitTorrent swarm.
This is basically multi-file torrent download with file selection, so
the adjacent files which is not in Metalink document but shares same
piece with selected file are also created.
netrc

netrc support is enabled by default for HTTP(S)/FTP. To disable netrc
