When downloading lists that contain a large number of small files, and we are using disk storage, we aim to avoid frequent file creation and deletion. Instead, we prefer to create control files in a different directory, such as /Volumes/ramdisk or /dev/shm.

Before getting torrent metadata from DHT when downloading with magnet
link, first try to read file saved by --bt-save-metadata option. If it
is successful, then skip downloading metadata from DHT. By default,
this feature is turned off.
This option keeps unfinished download results even if doing so exceeds
--max-download-result. This is useful if all unfinished downloads must
be saved in session file (see --save-session option). Please keep in
mind that there is no upper bound to the number of unfinished download
result to keep. User should use this option only when they know the
total number of downloads in advance.
This is required when DHT is used in private network, where seeder is
initially not known to all nodes. This functionality requires
--bt-external-ip is set since aria2 cannot figure out external IP
address to advertise in general.
Set the maximum file size to enable mmap (see --enable-mmap
option). The file size is determined by the sum of all files contained
in one download. For example, if a download contains 5 files, then
file size is the total size of those files. If file size is strictly
greater than the size specified in this option, mmap will be disabled.
This option sets flag which allows hook command invocation after hash
check (see -V option) in BitTorrent download. By default, when hash
check succeeds, the command given by --on-bt-download-complete is
executed. To disable this action, give false to this option.
Set the maximum socket receive buffer in bytes. Specifing 0 will
disable this option. This value will be set to socket file descriptor
using SO_RCVBUF socket option with setsockopt() call.
See GH-487 about the usecase of this option
Set checksum for SSH host public key. Use same syntax with --checksum
option. TYPE is hash type. The supported hash type is sha-1 or
md5. DIGEST is hex digest. For example:
sha-1=b030503d4de4539dc7885e6f0f5e256704edf4c3. This option can be
used to validate server's public key when SFTP is used. If this
option is not set, which is default, no validation takes place.
This option requires BitTorrent message payload encryption with
arc4. This is a shorthand of --bt-requre-crypto
--bt-min-crypto-level=arc4. If true is given, deny legacy BitTorrent
handshake and only use Obfuscation handshake and always encrypt
message payload. This option defaults to false.
This option excludes seed only downloads when counting concurrent
active downloads (-j option). This means that if -j3 is given and
this option is turned on and 3 downloads are active and one of those
enters seed mode, then it is excluded from active download count (thus
it becomes 2), and the next download waiting in queue gets started.
But be aware that seeding item is still recognized as active download
in RPC method.
This option pauses downloads created as a result of metadata
download. There are 3 types of metadata downloads in aria2: (1)
downloading .torrent file. (2) downloading torrent metadata using
magnet link. (3) downloading metalink file. These metadata downloads
will generate downloads using their metadata. This option pauses these
subsequent downloads.
