<div class="paragraph"><p>aria2 is a utility for downloading files. The supported protocols are

HTTP(S), FTP, BitTorrent, and Metalink. aria2 can download a file from
 | 
						|
multiple sources/protocols and tries to utilize your maximum download
 | 
						|
bandwidth. It supports downloading a file from HTTP(S)/FTP and
 | 
						|
BitTorrent at the same time, while the data downloaded from
 | 
						|
HTTP(S)/FTP is uploaded to the BitTorrent swarm. Using Metalink’s
 |

chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of data while

downloading a file like BitTorrent.</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>aria2 uses a control file to track the progress of a download.  A
 | 
						|
control file is placed in the same directory as the downloading file
 | 
						|
and its filename is the filename of downloading file with ".aria2"
 | 
						|
appended.  For example, if you are downloading file.zip, then the
 | 
						|
control file should be file.zip.aria2.  (There is a exception for this
 | 
						|
naming convention.  If you are downloading a multi torrent, its
 | 
						|
control file is the "top directory" name of the torrent with ".aria2"
 | 
						|
appended.  The "top directory" name is a value of "name" key in "info"
 | 
						|
directory in a torrent file.)</p></div>
 | 
						|
<div class="paragraph"><p>Usually a control file is deleted once download completed.  If aria2
 | 
						|
decides that download cannot be resumed(for example, when downloading
 | 
						|
a file from a HTTP server which doesn’t support resume), a control
 | 
						|
file is not created.</p></div>
 | 
						|
<div class="paragraph"><p>Normally if you lose a control file, you cannot resume download.  But
 | 
						|
if you have a torrent or metalink with chunk checksums for the file,
 | 
						|
you can resume the download without a control file by giving -V option

to aria2c in command-line.</p></div>
