DESCRIPTION

@ -20,388 +20,511 @@ aria2 is a utility for downloading files.
The supporting protocols are http(s)/ftp/BitTorrent/Metalink.
aria2 has powerful segmented downloading ability, downloading a file
from multiple sources and multiple protocols, utilizing your download bandwidth to the max.
It even supports downloading a file from http/ftp and BitTorrent at the same time, while the data downloaded form http/ftp is uploaded to BitTorrent swarm.
It even supports downloading a file from http(s)/ftp and BitTorrent at the same time, while the data downloaded form http(s)/ftp is uploaded to BitTorrent swarm.
aria2 also provides most reliable http/ftp downloading experience ever.
