--save-session-interval option saves error/unfinished downloads to a
file specified by --save-session option every SEC seconds. If 0 is
given, file will be saved only when aria2 exits.
On Mingw32 build, if aria2 opens file with GENERIC_WRITE access right,
some programs cannot open the file aria2 is seeding. To avoid this
situation, re-open files with read-only enabled when seeding is about
to begin.
This option sets GID manually. aria2 identifies each download by the
ID called GID. The GID must be hex string of 16 characters, thus
[0-9a-zA-Z] are allowed and leading zeros must not be stripped. The
GID all 0 is reserved and must not be used. The GID must be unique,
otherwise error is reported and the download is not added. This
option is useful when restoring the sessions saved using
--save-session option. If this option is not used, new GID is
generated by aria2.
This change replaces the current 64 bit sequential GID with 64 bits
random bytes GID in an attempt to support persistent GID. Internally,
the GID is stored as uint64_t. For human representation and RPC
interface, GID is represented as 16 bytes hex string. For console
readout, 16 bytes are too long, so it is abbreviated to first 6 bytes.
When querying GID in RPC calls, user can speicfy the prefix of GID as
long as the prefix is shared by more than 1 GID entries.
If more than 1 simultaneous downloads are going on, use more compact
format in readout. Currently, at most 5 download stats are displayed.
util::abbrevSize() is rewritten to support "Gi" unit and provides more
compact abbreviation.
Not realeasing these resources does not hurt the correctness of the
program, but memory leak detection tool, such as valgrind, reports it
as potential memory leak. It is better to distinguish it from the real
ones.
The old implementation starts to find faster host when the number of
missing segment becomes 1. Because of --min-split-size option, before
the number of missing segment becomes 1, the number of connection
becomes 1 and it can be slow. In this case, we have to wait until the
last segment is reached. The new implementation starts to find faster
host when the remaining length is less than --min-split-size * 2, to
mitigate the problem stated above.
If we receive small data (e.g., 1 or 2 bytes), cache entry becomes a
headache. To mitigate this problem, we allocate cache buffer at least
4KiB and append the data to the contagious cache data.
This option enables disk cache. If SIZE is 0, the disk cache is
disabled. This feature caches the downloaded data in memory, which
grows to at most SIZE bytes. The cache storage is created for aria2
instance and shared by all downloads. The one advantage of the disk
cache is reduce the disk seek time because the data is written in
larger unit and it is reordered by the offset of the file. If the
underlying file is heavily fragmented it is not the case.
I tried CreateFile but the subsequent ReadFile fails with Access
Denied if sparse file is read on NTFS. I mostly reverted previous
changes and use _wsopen with read/write share enabled instead of
CreateFile.
This change also includes --enable-mmap support for MinGW32
build. Memory mapped file may be useful for 64-bits OS and lots of
RAM. Currently, FlushViewOfFile is not called during the download, so
it is slightly vulnerable against sudden power loss. I found lots of
read when resuming download due to page fault. So for now it is useful
for the initial download. I recommend not to use
--file-allocation=prealloc with --enable-mmap for MinGW32, because it
triggers page faults even in the initial download. Anyway, the option
is experimental.
--force-save option saves download with --save-session option even if
the download is completed or removed. This may be useful to save
BitTorrent seeding which is recognized as completed state. The
default value is false.
Subtract msgHdrLen_ from writtenLength to get the uploaded data size.
Without this correction, the seeder assumes it has uploaded more data
than it actually has.
The old implementation calculates download/upload statistics for a
RequestGroup by summing up all PeerStat objects. For global
statistics, those are summed together. This clearly incurs runtime
penalty and we introduced some kind of caching which updates
statistics every 250ms but it did not work right.
This change removes all these aggregation code, and instead makes
RequestGroup and RequestGroupMan objects hold NetStat object and
download/upload bytes are directly calculated by thier own NetStat.
This is far more simplar than the old way and less runtime penalty and
brings more accuracy.
If true is given, which is default, save the uploaded torrent or
metalink metadata in the directory specified by --dir option. The
filename consists of SHA1-hash hex string of metadata plus
extension. For torrent, the extension is '.torrent'. For metalink, it
is '.meta4'. If false is given to this option, the downloads added by
aria2.addTorrent or aria2.addMetalink will not be saved by
--save-session option.
To enable RPC over SSL/TLS, specify server certificate and private key
using --rpc-certificate and --rpc-private-key options and enable
--rpc-secure option. After the encryption is enabled, use https and
wss scheme to access RPC server.
In this change, we defined HTTP header fields we are interested in.
We only store those headers in HttpHeader object. Accessing HTTP
headers in HttpHeader object is now done through enum values.
DownloadHandlerConstants was simplified. MIME type handling in Accept
header was also reworked. DownloadContext's metalinkServerContacted_
is replaced with acceptMetalink_ and its boolean value is reverted.
RequestGroup and HttpRequest now do not hold vector of accepting
types. HttpRequest has the flag acceptMetalink_ which will be set by
the same value of DownloadContext::accpetMetalink_ and if it is true,
Metalink MIME types are added to Accept header field.
Socket::getPeerInfo() may fail if its TCP connection has already
disconnected. In this case, we log this error. The success or failure
of pooling connection should not affect the later execution of the
program.
In CreateRequestCommand, if Request object returned from getRequest()
is still sleeping, CreateRequestCommand pools it back but still holds
its reference. This makes assertion error in
UnknownLengthPieceStroage::hasMissingUnusedPiece() from
AbstractCommand::execute().
--file-allocation option can now take new value 'trunc'. 'trunc' uses
ftruncate() system call or platform-specific counterpart to truncate a
file to a specified length.
With BitTorrent or Metalink (metaurl), one RequestGroup can contain
multiple files. In this change, ensure that the sum of thoese files
must be equal or less than INT64_MAX.
Using off_t, at least, in DiskAdaptor layer is problematic because
torrent can contain under 2GiB files but total sum of those files may
exceed 2GiB limit, which makes off_t overflow in 32 bit system without
large file support. So we use int64_t in API. We'll check the file
length before download so that it does not exceed max off_t.
Use system-wide certificates for SSL. For GnuTLS it requires the
latest version, 3.0.20. OpenSSL had it for longer. This means that if
SSL library is properly configured to locate system-wide certificates
store, the user don't have to use --ca-certificate option. Also
packagers don't have to use --with-ca-bundle configure option.
Patch from Cristian Morales Vega
The new Peer ID prefix is "A2-$MAJOR-$MINOR-$MICRO-", where $MAJOR,
$MINOR and $MICRO are the major version, the minor version and the
micro version respectively. For instance, 1.15.2 release of aria2 will
use "A2-1-15-2-".
We only percent-decode filename* value in Content-Disposition because
the encoding is fully specified. But since filename value is not, so
we just accept it as is.
The old implementation calls at least 2 read(2) (4bytes length and
payload) to receive the message. This change will read as many bytes
as possible in one read(2) call. BtPieceMessage::data_ is now just a
const pointer to the internal buffer of PeerConnection.
In this change, we return 404 if the request path is neither /json-rpc
nor /rpc. If XML feature is not enabled and /rpc is requested, return
404. If XML parser failed, return 400. JSON parser failure has been
handled well in the existing code.
Check sockaddr_in.sin_len and sockaddr_in6.sin6_len are available and
assign values to them properly. This change fixes unit test error and
most error related to getnameinfo() on netbsd.
