NAME

       aria2c - The ultra fast download utility

SYNOPSIS

       aria2c [<OPTIONS>] [<URI>|<MAGNET>|<TORRENT_FILE>|<METALINK_FILE>] ...

DESCRIPTION

       aria2  is a utility for downloading files. The supported protocols are HTTP(S), FTP, SFTP,
       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 /SFTP and BitTorrent  at  the  same  time,  while  the  data  downloaded  from
       HTTP(S)/FTP/SFTP  is  uploaded  to  the  BitTorrent swarm. Using Metalink chunk checksums,
       aria2 automatically validates chunks of data while downloading a file.

OPTIONS

       NOTE:
          Most FTP related options are  applicable  to  SFTP  as  well.   Some  options  are  not
          effective against SFTP (e.g., --ftp-pasv)

   Basic Options
       -d, --dir=<DIR>
              The directory to store the downloaded file.

       -i, --input-file=<FILE>
              Downloads  the  URIs  listed in FILE. You can specify multiple sources for a single
              entity by putting multiple URIs on a single line separated by  the  TAB  character.
              Additionally, options can be specified after each URI line. Option lines must start
              with one or more white space characters (SPACE or TAB) and must  only  contain  one
              option  per line.  Input files can use gzip compression.  When FILE is specified as
              -, aria2 will read the input  from  stdin.   See  the  Input  File  subsection  for
              details.   See  also  the  --deferred-input  option.   See  also the --save-session
              option.

       -l, --log=<LOG>
              The file name of the log file. If - is specified, log  is  written  to  stdout.  If
              empty string("") is specified, or this option is omitted, no log is written to disk
              at all.

       -j, --max-concurrent-downloads=<N>
              Set the maximum number of parallel downloads for every queue item.   See  also  the
              --split option.  Default: 5

              NOTE:
                 --max-concurrent-downloads  limits  the  number  of  items  which are downloaded
                 concurrently.  --split and --min-split-size affect  the  number  of  connections
                 inside each item.  Imagine that you have an input file (see --input-file option)
                 like this:

                     http://example.com/foo
                     http://example.com/bar

                 Here is 2 download items.  aria2 can download these items  concurrently  if  the
                 value  more  than  or  equal  2 is given to --max-concurrent-downloads.  In each
                 download item, you can configure the number of connections using --split  and/or
                 --min-split-size, etc.

       -V, --check-integrity [true|false]
              Check  file  integrity  by  validating piece hashes or a hash of entire file.  This
              option has  effect  only  in  BitTorrent,  Metalink  downloads  with  checksums  or
              HTTP(S)/FTP  downloads  with --checksum option.  If piece hashes are provided, this
              option can detect damaged portions of a file and re-download them.  If  a  hash  of
              entire  file  is  provided,  hash  check  is  only  done when file has been already
              download. This is  determined  by  file  length.  If  hash  check  fails,  file  is
              re-downloaded  from  scratch.   If  both piece hashes and a hash of entire file are
              provided, only piece hashes are used. Default: false

       -c, --continue [true|false]
              Continue downloading a partially downloaded file.  Use  this  option  to  resume  a
              download  started  by  a  web  browser  or  another  program  which downloads files
              sequentially from the beginning.  Currently  this  option  is  only  applicable  to
              HTTP(S)/FTP downloads.

       -h, --help[=<TAG>|<KEYWORD>]
              The  help messages are classified with tags. A tag starts with #. For example, type
              --help=#http to get the usage for the options tagged with #http. If non-tag word is
              given,  print  the  usage for the options whose name includes that word.  Available
              Values: #basic, #advanced, #http, #https, #ftp,  #metalink,  #bittorrent,  #cookie,
              #hook,  #file,  #rpc,  #checksum,  #experimental, #deprecated, #help, #all Default:
              #basic

   HTTP/FTP/SFTP Options
       --all-proxy=<PROXY>
              Use a proxy server for all protocols.  To override a previously defined proxy,  use
              "".  You also can override this setting and specify a proxy server for a particular
              protocol using --http-proxy, --https-proxy and --ftp-proxy options.   This  affects
              all  downloads.   The format of PROXY is [http://][USER:PASSWORD@]HOST[:PORT].  See
              also ENVIRONMENT section.

              NOTE:
                 If user and password are embedded in proxy URI and they are  also  specified  by
                 --{http,https,ftp,all}-proxy-{user,passwd}   options,   those   specified  later
                 override prior options. For example, if  you  specified  http-proxy-user=myname,
                 http-proxy-passwd=mypass      in      aria2.conf      and      you     specified
                 --http-proxy="http://proxy" on the  command-line,  then  you'd  get  HTTP  proxy
                 http://proxy with user myname and password mypass.

                 Another     example:     if     you     specified     on     the    command-line
                 --http-proxy="http://user:pass@proxy"                 --http-proxy-user="myname"
                 --http-proxy-passwd="mypass",  then  you'd get HTTP proxy http://proxy with user
                 myname and password mypass.

                 One more example: if you specified  in  command-line  --http-proxy-user="myname"
                 --http-proxy-passwd="mypass"  --http-proxy="http://user:pass@proxy",  then you'd
                 get HTTP proxy http://proxy with user user and password pass.

       --all-proxy-passwd=<PASSWD>
              Set password for --all-proxy option.

       --all-proxy-user=<USER>
              Set user for --all-proxy option.

       --checksum=<TYPE>=<DIGEST>
              Set checksum. TYPE is hash  type.  The  supported  hash  type  is  listed  in  Hash
              Algorithms  in  aria2c -v. DIGEST is hex digest.  For example, setting sha-1 digest
              looks like this: sha-1=0192ba11326fe2298c8cb4de616f4d4140213838 This option applies
              only to HTTP(S)/FTP downloads.

       --connect-timeout=<SEC>
              Set  the  connect  timeout  in  seconds  to  establish connection to HTTP/FTP/proxy
              server. After the connection is  established,  this  option  makes  no  effect  and
              --timeout option is used instead.  Default: 60

       --dry-run [true|false]
              If  true  is  given,  aria2  just  checks  whether the remote file is available and
              doesn't download data. This option has effect  on  HTTP/FTP  download.   BitTorrent
              downloads are canceled if true is specified.  Default: false

       --lowest-speed-limit=<SPEED>
              Close  connection  if download speed is lower than or equal to this value(bytes per
              sec).  0 means aria2 does not have a lowest speed limit.  You can append K or M (1K
              = 1024, 1M = 1024K).  This option does not affect BitTorrent downloads.  Default: 0

       -x, --max-connection-per-server=<NUM>
              The maximum number of connections to one server for each download.  Default: 1

       --max-file-not-found=<NUM>
              If  aria2  receives  "file  not  found" status from the remote HTTP/FTP servers NUM
              times without getting a single byte, then force the download to fail. Specify 0  to
              disable  this  option.  This options is effective only when using HTTP/FTP servers.
              The number of retry  attempt  is  counted  toward  --max-tries,  so  it  should  be
              configured too.

              Default: 0

       -m, --max-tries=<N>
              Set number of tries. 0 means unlimited.  See also --retry-wait.  Default: 5

       -k, --min-split-size=<SIZE>
              aria2  does  not  split  less  than 2*SIZE byte range.  For example, let's consider
              downloading 20MiB file. If SIZE is 10M, aria2 can split file into 2 range [0-10MiB)
              and  [10MiB-20MiB) and download it using 2 sources(if --split >= 2, of course).  If
              SIZE is 15M, since 2*15M > 20MiB, aria2 does not split file and download it using 1
              source.  You can append K or M (1K = 1024, 1M = 1024K).  Possible Values: 1M -1024M
              Default: 20M

       --netrc-path=<FILE>
              Specify the path to the netrc file.  Default: $(HOME)/.netrc

              NOTE:
                 Permission of the .netrc file must be 600.  Otherwise, the file will be ignored.

       -n, --no-netrc [true|false]
              Disables netrc support. netrc support is enabled by default.

              NOTE:
                 netrc file is only read at the startup if --no-netrc is false.  So if --no-netrc
                 is  true  at  the  startup,  no  netrc is available throughout the session.  You
                 cannot  get  netrc   enabled   even   if   you   send   --no-netrc=false   using
                 aria2.changeGlobalOption().

       --no-proxy=<DOMAINS>
              Specify a comma separated list of host names, domains and network addresses with or
              without a subnet mask where no proxy should be used.

              NOTE:
                 For network addresses with a subnet mask, both IPv4  and  IPv6  addresses  work.
                 The  current  implementation does not resolve the host name in an URI to compare
                 network addresses specified in --no-proxy. So it is only effective  if  URI  has
                 numeric IP addresses.

       -o, --out=<FILE>
              The file name of the downloaded file.  It is always relative to the directory given
              in --dir option.  When the  --force-sequential  option  is  used,  this  option  is
              ignored.

              NOTE:
                 You  cannot  specify a file name for Metalink or BitTorrent downloads.  The file
                 name specified here is only used when the URIs fed to aria2  are  given  on  the
                 command  line  directly,  but  not  when  using --input-file, --force-sequential
                 option.

                 Example:

                     $ aria2c -o myfile.zip "http://mirror1/file.zip" "http://mirror2/file.zip"

       --proxy-method=<METHOD>
              Set the method to use in proxy request.  METHOD is  either  get  or  tunnel.  HTTPS
              downloads always use tunnel regardless of this option.  Default: get

       -R, --remote-time [true|false]
              Retrieve  timestamp of the remote file from the remote HTTP/FTP server and if it is
              available, apply it to the local file.  Default: false

       --reuse-uri [true|false]
              Reuse already used URIs if no unused URIs are left.  Default: true

       --retry-wait=<SEC>
              Set the seconds to wait between retries. When SEC > 0, aria2 will  retry  downloads
              when the HTTP server returns a 503 response. Default: 0

       --server-stat-of=<FILE>
              Specify the file name to which performance profile of the servers is saved. You can
              load saved data using  --server-stat-if  option.  See  Server  Performance  Profile
              subsection below for file format.

       --server-stat-if=<FILE>
              Specify  the  file name to load performance profile of the servers. The loaded data
              will be used in some URI  selector  such  as  feedback.   See  also  --uri-selector
              option. See Server Performance Profile subsection below for file format.

       --server-stat-timeout=<SEC>
              Specifies timeout in seconds to invalidate performance profile of the servers since
              the last contact to them.  Default: 86400 (24hours)

       -s, --split=<N>
              Download a file using N connections.  If more than N URIs are given, first  N  URIs
              are  used  and  remaining URIs are used for backup.  If less than N URIs are given,
              those URIs  are  used  more  than  once  so  that  N  connections  total  are  made
              simultaneously.   The  number  of connections to the same host is restricted by the
              --max-connection-per-server  option.   See  also   the   --min-split-size   option.
              Default: 5

              NOTE:
                 Some  Metalinks  regulate  the  number  of  servers  to connect.  aria2 strictly
                 respects them.  This means that if Metalink defines the maxconnections attribute
                 lower than N, then aria2 uses the value of this lower value instead of N.

       --stream-piece-selector=<SELECTOR>
              Specify  piece  selection  algorithm  used  in HTTP/FTP download. Piece means fixed
              length segment which is downloaded in parallel in segmented download. If default is
              given,  aria2  selects  piece  so  that  it  reduces  the  number  of  establishing
              connection. This is reasonable default behavior because establishing connection  is
              an expensive operation.  If inorder is given, aria2 selects piece which has minimum
              index. Index=0 means first of the file. This will be useful  to  view  movie  while
              downloading   it.    --enable-http-pipelining   option  may  be  useful  to  reduce
              re-connection overhead.  Please note that aria2 honors --min-split-size option,  so
              it  will be necessary to specify a reasonable value to --min-split-size option.  If
              random is given, aria2  selects  piece  randomly.  Like  inorder,  --min-split-size
              option  is  honored.   If geom is given, at the beginning aria2 selects piece which
              has minimum index like inorder, but it exponentially increasingly keeps space  from
              previously  selected  piece. This will reduce the number of establishing connection
              and at the same time it will download the beginning part of the  file  first.  This
              will be useful to view movie while downloading it.  Default: default

       -t, --timeout=<SEC>
              Set timeout in seconds.  Default: 60

       --uri-selector=<SELECTOR>
              Specify  URI  selection  algorithm.  The  possible values are inorder, feedback and
              adaptive.  If inorder is given, URI is tried in the order appeared in the URI list.
              If  feedback is given, aria2 uses download speed observed in the previous downloads
              and choose fastest server in  the  URI  list.  This  also  effectively  skips  dead
              mirrors.  The  observed  download speed is a part of performance profile of servers
              mentioned in --server-stat-of and --server-stat-if options.  If adaptive is  given,
              selects  one  of  the  best  mirrors  for  the first and reserved connections.  For
              supplementary ones, it returns mirrors which has not been tested yet, and  if  each
              of  them  has  already  been  tested, returns mirrors which has to be tested again.
              Otherwise, it doesn't select anymore mirrors. Like feedback, it uses a  performance
              profile of servers.  Default: feedback

   HTTP Specific Options
       --ca-certificate=<FILE>
              Use  the certificate authorities in FILE to verify the peers.  The certificate file
              must  be  in  PEM  format  and  can  contain   multiple   CA   certificates.    Use
              --check-certificate option to enable verification.

              NOTE:
                 If   you  build  with  OpenSSL  or  the  recent  version  of  GnuTLS  which  has
                 gnutls_certificate_set_x509_system_trust() function and the library is  properly
                 configured   to  locate  the  system-wide  CA  certificates  store,  aria2  will
                 automatically load those certificates at the startup.

              NOTE:
                 WinTLS and AppleTLS do not support this option. Instead you will have to  import
                 the certificate into the OS trust store.

       --certificate=<FILE>
              Use the client certificate in FILE. The certificate must be either in PKCS12 (.p12,
              .pfx) or in PEM format.

              PKCS12 files must contain  the  certificate,  a  key  and  optionally  a  chain  of
              additional  certificates.  Only  PKCS12  files  with a blank import password can be
              opened!

              When using PEM, you have to specify the private key via --private-key as well.

              NOTE:
                 WinTLS does not support PEM files at the moment. Users have to use PKCS12 files.

              NOTE:
                 AppleTLS users should use the KeyChain  Access  utility  to  import  the  client
                 certificate   and   get  the  SHA-1  fingerprint  from  the  Information  dialog
                 corresponding to that certificate.  To start aria2c  use  --certificate=<SHA-1>.
                 Alternatively  PKCS12  files  are  also  supported.  PEM files, however, are not
                 supported.

       --check-certificate [true|false]
              Verify the peer using certificates specified in --ca-certificate option.   Default:
              true

       --http-accept-gzip [true|false]
              Send  Accept:  deflate,  gzip  request header and inflate response if remote server
              responds with Content-Encoding: gzip or Content-Encoding: deflate.  Default: false

              NOTE:
                 Some server responds with Content-Encoding:  gzip  for  files  which  itself  is
                 gzipped file. aria2 inflates them anyway because of the response header.

       --http-auth-challenge [true|false]
              Send HTTP authorization header only when it is requested by the server. If false is
              set, then authorization  header  is  always  sent  to  the  server.   There  is  an
              exception:  if  user name and password are embedded in URI, authorization header is
              always sent to the server regardless of this option.  Default: false

       --http-no-cache [true|false]
              Send Cache-Control: no-cache and Pragma: no-cache header to avoid  cached  content.
              If  false is given, these headers are not sent and you can add Cache-Control header
              with a directive you like using --header option. Default: false

       --http-user=<USER>
              Set HTTP user. This affects all URIs.

       --http-passwd=<PASSWD>
              Set HTTP password. This affects all URIs.

       --http-proxy=<PROXY>
              Use a proxy server for HTTP.  To override a previously defined proxy, use "".   See
              also the --all-proxy option.  This affects all http downloads.  The format of PROXY
              is [http://][USER:PASSWORD@]HOST[:PORT]

       --http-proxy-passwd=<PASSWD>
              Set password for --http-proxy.

       --http-proxy-user=<USER>
              Set user for --http-proxy.

       --https-proxy=<PROXY>
              Use a proxy server for HTTPS. To override a previously defined proxy, use "".   See
              also the --all-proxy option.  This affects all https download.  The format of PROXY
              is [http://][USER:PASSWORD@]HOST[:PORT]

       --https-proxy-passwd=<PASSWD>
              Set password for --https-proxy.

       --https-proxy-user=<USER>
              Set user for --https-proxy.

       --private-key=<FILE>
              Use the private key in FILE.  The private key must be decrypted and in PEM  format.
              The  behavior  when  encrypted  one  is given is undefined.  See also --certificate
              option.

       --referer=<REFERER>
              Set an http referrer (Referer). This affects all http/https  downloads.   If  *  is
              given, the download URI is also used as the referrer.  This may be useful when used
              together with the --parameterized-uri option.

       --enable-http-keep-alive [true|false]
              Enable HTTP/1.1 persistent connection.  Default: true

       --enable-http-pipelining [true|false]
              Enable HTTP/1.1 pipelining.  Default: false

              NOTE:
                 In performance perspective, there is usually no advantage to enable this option.

       --header=<HEADER>
              Append HEADER to HTTP request header.   You  can  use  this  option  repeatedly  to
              specify more than one header:

                 $ aria2c --header="X-A: b78" --header="X-B: 9J1" "http://host/file"

       --load-cookies=<FILE>
              Load  Cookies from FILE using the Firefox3 format (SQLite3), Chromium/Google Chrome
              (SQLite3) and the Mozilla/Firefox(1.x/2.x)/Netscape format.

              NOTE:
                 If aria2 is built without libsqlite3,  then  it  doesn't  support  Firefox3  and
                 Chromium/Google Chrome cookie format.

       --save-cookies=<FILE>
              Save  Cookies to FILE in Mozilla/Firefox(1.x/2.x)/ Netscape format. If FILE already
              exists, it is overwritten. Session Cookies are also saved and their  expiry  values
              are treated as 0.  Possible Values: /path/to/file

       --use-head [true|false]
              Use HEAD method for the first request to the HTTP server.  Default: false

       -U, --user-agent=<USER_AGENT>
              Set  user  agent  for  HTTP(S)  downloads.   Default:  aria2/$VERSION,  $VERSION is
              replaced by package version.

   FTP/SFTP Specific Options
       --ftp-user=<USER>
              Set FTP user. This affects all URIs.  Default: anonymous

       --ftp-passwd=<PASSWD>
              Set FTP password. This affects all URIs.  If user name is embedded but password  is
              missing  in URI, aria2 tries to resolve password using .netrc. If password is found
              in .netrc, then use it as password. If not, use  the  password  specified  in  this
              option.  Default: ARIA2USER@

       -p, --ftp-pasv [true|false]
              Use  the  passive  mode  in  FTP.  If false is given, the active mode will be used.
              Default: true

              NOTE:
                 This option is ignored for SFTP transfer.

       --ftp-proxy=<PROXY>
              Use a proxy server for FTP.  To override a previously defined proxy, use  "".   See
              also  the --all-proxy option.  This affects all ftp downloads.  The format of PROXY
              is [http://][USER:PASSWORD@]HOST[:PORT]

       --ftp-proxy-passwd=<PASSWD>
              Set password for --ftp-proxy option.

       --ftp-proxy-user=<USER>
              Set user for --ftp-proxy option.

       --ftp-type=<TYPE>
              Set FTP transfer type. TYPE is either binary or ascii.  Default: binary

              NOTE:
                 This option is ignored for SFTP transfer.

       --ftp-reuse-connection [true|false]
              Reuse connection in FTP.  Default: true

       --ssh-host-key-md=<TYPE>=<DIGEST>
              Set checksum for SSH host public key. 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.

   BitTorrent/Metalink Options
       --select-file=<INDEX>...
              Set file to download by specifying its index.  You can find the  file  index  using
              the  --show-files  option.   Multiple  indexes  can  be  specified  by using ,, for
              example: 3,6.  You can also use - to specify a range: 1-5.  , and  -  can  be  used
              together:  1-5,8,9.   When used with the -M option, index may vary depending on the
              query (see --metalink-* options).

              NOTE:
                 In multi file torrent, the adjacent files specified by this option may  also  be
                 downloaded.  This  is  by design, not a bug.  A single piece may include several
                 files or part of files, and aria2 writes the piece to the appropriate files.

       -S, --show-files [true|false]
              Print file listing of ".torrent", ".meta4" and ".metalink" file and exit.  In  case
              of  ".torrent"  file,  additional information (infohash, piece length, etc) is also
              printed.

   BitTorrent Specific Options
       --bt-detach-seed-only [true|false]
              Exclude seed only downloads when  counting  concurrent  active  downloads  (See  -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.  Default: false

       --bt-enable-hook-after-hash-check [true|false]
              Allow  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.  Default: true

       --bt-enable-lpd [true|false]
              Enable Local Peer Discovery.  If a private flag is set in a torrent, aria2  doesn't
              use this feature for that download even if true is given.  Default: false

       --bt-exclude-tracker=<URI>[,...]
              Comma  separated  list  of BitTorrent tracker's announce URI to remove. You can use
              special value * which matches all  URIs,  thus  removes  all  announce  URIs.  When
              specifying  *  in shell command-line, don't forget to escape or quote it.  See also
              --bt-tracker option.

       --bt-external-ip=<IPADDRESS>
              Specify the external IP address to use in BitTorrent download and DHT.  It  may  be
              sent to BitTorrent tracker. For DHT, this option should be set to report that local
              node is downloading a particular torrent.  This is critical to use DHT in a private
              network.  Although  this  function  is named external, it can accept any kind of IP
              addresses.

       --bt-force-encryption [true|false]
              Requires BitTorrent message payload encryption with arc4.  This is a  shorthand  of
              --bt-require-crypto  --bt-min-crypto-level=arc4.   This  option does not change the
              option value of those options.  If true is given, deny legacy BitTorrent  handshake
              and  only  use  Obfuscation handshake and always encrypt message payload.  Default:
              false

       --bt-hash-check-seed [true|false]
              If true is given, after hash check  using  --check-integrity  option  and  file  is
              complete,  continue  to  seed  file. If you want to check file and download it only
              when it is damaged or incomplete, set this option to false.  This option has effect
              only on BitTorrent download.  Default: true

       --bt-load-saved-metadata [true|false]
              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.  Default: false

       --bt-lpd-interface=<INTERFACE>
              Use  given interface for Local Peer Discovery. If this option is not specified, the
              default interface is chosen.  You  can  specify  interface  name  and  IP  address.
              Possible Values: interface, IP address

       --bt-max-open-files=<NUM>
              Specify  maximum number of files to open in multi-file BitTorrent/Metalink download
              globally.  Default: 100

       --bt-max-peers=<NUM>
              Specify the maximum number of peers per torrent.   0  means  unlimited.   See  also
              --bt-request-peer-speed-limit option.  Default: 55

       --bt-metadata-only [true|false]
              Download meta data only. The file(s) described in meta data will not be downloaded.
              This option  has  effect  only  when  BitTorrent  Magnet  URI  is  used.  See  also
              --bt-save-metadata option.  Default: false

       --bt-min-crypto-level=plain|arc4
              Set minimum level of encryption method.  If several encryption methods are provided
              by a peer, aria2 chooses the lowest one which satisfies the given level.   Default:
              plain

       --bt-prioritize-piece=head[=<SIZE>],tail[=<SIZE>]
              Try  to  download  first  and  last  pieces  of each file first. This is useful for
              previewing files. The argument can contain 2 keywords: head and  tail.  To  include
              both  keywords,  they  must  be  separated  by  comma.  These keywords can take one
              parameter, SIZE. For example, if head=<SIZE> is specified, pieces in the  range  of
              first  SIZE bytes of each file get higher priority.  tail=<SIZE> means the range of
              last SIZE bytes of each file. SIZE can include K or M (1K = 1024, 1M =  1024K).  If
              SIZE is omitted, SIZE=1M is used.

       --bt-remove-unselected-file [true|false]
              Removes  the  unselected  files when download is completed in BitTorrent. To select
              files, use --select-file option. If it is not used, all files  are  assumed  to  be
              selected.  Please  use  this option with care because it will actually remove files
              from your disk.  Default: false

       --bt-require-crypto [true|false]
              If true is given,  aria2  doesn't  accept  and  establish  connection  with  legacy
              BitTorrent  handshake(\19BitTorrent  protocol).  Thus aria2 always uses Obfuscation
              handshake.  Default: false

       --bt-request-peer-speed-limit=<SPEED>
              If the whole download speed of every torrent is lower than SPEED, aria2 temporarily
              increases  the  number  of  peers  to try for more download speed. Configuring this
              option with your preferred download speed can increase your download speed in  some
              cases.  You can append K or M (1K = 1024, 1M = 1024K).  Default: 50K

       --bt-save-metadata [true|false]
              Save  meta  data  as  ".torrent"  file. This option has effect only when BitTorrent
              Magnet URI is used.  The file name is hex encoded info hash with suffix ".torrent".
              The  directory  to  be saved is the same directory where download file is saved. If
              the same file already exists, meta data is not saved. See  also  --bt-metadata-only
              option. Default: false

       --bt-seed-unverified [true|false]
              Seed previously downloaded files without verifying piece hashes.  Default: false

       --bt-stop-timeout=<SEC>
              Stop BitTorrent download if download speed is 0 in consecutive SEC seconds. If 0 is
              given, this feature is disabled.  Default: 0

       --bt-tracker=<URI>[,...]
              Comma separated list of additional BitTorrent tracker's announce  URI.  These  URIs
              are  not  affected by --bt-exclude-tracker option because they are added after URIs
              in --bt-exclude-tracker option are removed.

       --bt-tracker-connect-timeout=<SEC>
              Set the connect timeout in seconds to establish connection to  tracker.  After  the
              connection  is  established,  this  option makes no effect and --bt-tracker-timeout
              option is used instead.  Default: 60

       --bt-tracker-interval=<SEC>
              Set the interval in seconds between tracker  requests.  This  completely  overrides
              interval  value  and  aria2  just  uses this value and ignores the min interval and
              interval value in the response of tracker. If 0 is set, aria2  determines  interval
              based on the response of tracker and the download progress.  Default: 0

       --bt-tracker-timeout=<SEC>
              Set timeout in seconds. Default: 60

       --dht-entry-point=<HOST>:<PORT>
              Set host and port as an entry point to IPv4 DHT network.

       --dht-entry-point6=<HOST>:<PORT>
              Set host and port as an entry point to IPv6 DHT network.

       --dht-file-path=<PATH>
              Change  the  IPv4 DHT routing table file to PATH.  Default: $HOME/.aria2/dht.dat if
              present, otherwise $XDG_CACHE_HOME/aria2/dht.dat.

       --dht-file-path6=<PATH>
              Change the IPv6 DHT routing table file to PATH.  Default: $HOME/.aria2/dht6.dat  if
              present, otherwise $XDG_CACHE_HOME/aria2/dht6.dat.

       --dht-listen-addr6=<ADDR>
              Specify  address  to  bind socket for IPv6 DHT.  It should be a global unicast IPv6
              address of the host.

       --dht-listen-port=<PORT>...
              Set UDP listening port used by DHT(IPv4, IPv6) and UDP tracker.  Multiple ports can
              be  specified  by using ,, for example: 6881,6885.  You can also use - to specify a
              range: 6881-6999. , and - can be used together.  Default: 6881-6999

              NOTE:
                 Make sure that the specified ports are open for incoming UDP traffic.

       --dht-message-timeout=<SEC>
              Set timeout in seconds. Default: 10

       --enable-dht [true|false]
              Enable IPv4 DHT functionality. It also enables UDP tracker support.  If  a  private
              flag  is  set in a torrent, aria2 doesn't use DHT for that download even if true is
              given.  Default: true

       --enable-dht6 [true|false]
              Enable IPv6 DHT functionality. If a private flag is set in a torrent, aria2 doesn't
              use  DHT  for  that download even if true is given. Use --dht-listen-port option to
              specify port number to listen on. See also --dht-listen-addr6 option.

       --enable-peer-exchange [true|false]
              Enable Peer Exchange extension. If a private flag is set in a torrent, this feature
              is disabled for that download even if true is given.  Default: true

       --follow-torrent=true|false|mem
              If  true  or mem is specified, when a file whose suffix is .torrent or content type
              is application/x-bittorrent is downloaded, aria2 parses it as a  torrent  file  and
              downloads  files  mentioned  in  it.   If  mem  is specified, a torrent file is not
              written to the disk, but is just kept  in  memory.   If  false  is  specified,  the
              .torrent  file  is  downloaded  to the disk, but is not parsed as a torrent and its
              contents are not downloaded.  Default: true

       -O, --index-out=<INDEX>=<PATH>
              Set file path for file with index=INDEX. You can find  the  file  index  using  the
              --show-files  option.   PATH  is  a  relative  path  to the path specified in --dir
              option. You can use this option multiple times. Using this option, you can  specify
              the output file names of BitTorrent downloads.

       --listen-port=<PORT>...
              Set  TCP  port number for BitTorrent downloads.  Multiple ports can be specified by
              using ,,  for example:  6881,6885.   You  can  also  use  -  to  specify  a  range:
              6881-6999.  , and - can be used together: 6881-6889,6999.  Default: 6881-6999

              NOTE:
                 Make sure that the specified ports are open for incoming TCP traffic.

       --max-overall-upload-limit=<SPEED>
              Set max overall upload speed in bytes/sec.  0 means unrestricted.  You can append K
              or M (1K = 1024, 1M  =  1024K).   To  limit  the  upload  speed  per  torrent,  use
              --max-upload-limit option.  Default: 0

       -u, --max-upload-limit=<SPEED>
              Set max upload speed per each torrent in bytes/sec.  0 means unrestricted.  You can
              append K or M (1K = 1024, 1M = 1024K).  To limit  the  overall  upload  speed,  use
              --max-overall-upload-limit option.  Default: 0

       --peer-id-prefix=<PEER_ID_PREFIX>
              Specify the prefix of peer ID. The peer ID in BitTorrent is 20 byte length. If more
              than 20 bytes are specified, only first 20 bytes are used. If less  than  20  bytes
              are specified, random byte data are added to make its length 20 bytes.

              Default: A2-$MAJOR-$MINOR-$PATCH-, $MAJOR, $MINOR and $PATCH are replaced by major,
              minor and patch version number respectively.  For instance,  aria2  version  1.18.8
              has prefix ID A2-1-18-8-.

       --peer-agent=<PEER_AGENT>
              Specify  the  string  used  during  the bitorrent extended handshake for the peer's
              client version.

              Default: aria2/$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH, $MAJOR, $MINOR  and  $PATCH  are  replaced  by
              major,  minor  and  patch version number respectively.  For instance, aria2 version
              1.18.8 has peer agent aria2/1.18.8.

       --seed-ratio=<RATIO>
              Specify share ratio. Seed completed torrents until share ratio reaches RATIO.   You
              are  strongly  encouraged  to specify equals or more than 1.0 here.  Specify 0.0 if
              you intend to do seeding regardless of  share  ratio.   If  --seed-time  option  is
              specified  along with this option, seeding ends when at least one of the conditions
              is satisfied.  Default: 1.0

       --seed-time=<MINUTES>
              Specify seeding time in (fractional) minutes. Also see the --seed-ratio option.

              NOTE:
                 Specifying --seed-time=0 disables seeding after download completed.

       -T, --torrent-file=<TORRENT_FILE>
              The path to the ".torrent" file.  You are not required to use this  option  because
              you can specify ".torrent" files without --torrent-file.

   Metalink Specific Options
       --follow-metalink=true|false|mem
              If  true  or  mem  is specified, when a file whose suffix is .meta4 or .metalink or
              content  type   of   application/metalink4+xml   or   application/metalink+xml   is
              downloaded, aria2 parses it as a metalink file and downloads files mentioned in it.
              If mem is specified, a metalink file is not written to the disk, but is  just  kept
              in  memory.   If  false is specified, the .metalink file is downloaded to the disk,
              but is not parsed as a metalink file and its contents are not downloaded.  Default:
              true

       --metalink-base-uri=<URI>
              Specify  base  URI  to  resolve  relative  URI in metalink:url and metalink:metaurl
              element in a metalink file stored in local disk. If URI points to a directory,  URI
              must end with /.

       -M, --metalink-file=<METALINK_FILE>
              The  file  path  to ".meta4" and ".metalink" file. Reads input from stdin when - is
              specified.  You are not required  to  use  this  option  because  you  can  specify
              ".metalink" files without --metalink-file.

       --metalink-language=<LANGUAGE>
              The language of the file to download.

       --metalink-location=<LOCATION>[,...]
              The  location  of  the  preferred  server.   A comma-delimited list of locations is
              acceptable, for example, jp,us.

       --metalink-os=<OS>
              The operating system of the file to download.

       --metalink-version=<VERSION>
              The version of the file to download.

       --metalink-preferred-protocol=<PROTO>
              Specify preferred protocol.  The possible values are http,  https,  ftp  and  none.
              Specify none to disable this feature.  Default: none

       --metalink-enable-unique-protocol [true|false]
              If  true  is  given  and several protocols are available for a mirror in a metalink
              file, aria2 uses one of them.  Use --metalink-preferred-protocol option to  specify
              the preference of protocol.  Default: true

   RPC Options
       --enable-rpc [true|false]
              Enable   JSON-RPC/XML-RPC  server.   It  is  strongly  recommended  to  set  secret
              authorization token using --rpc-secret option.  See also --rpc-listen-port  option.
              Default: false

       --pause [true|false]
              Pause download after added. This option is effective only when --enable-rpc=true is
              given.  Default: false

       --pause-metadata [true|false]
              Pause 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. This option  is  effective  only  when  --enable-rpc=true  is
              given.  Default: false

       --rpc-allow-origin-all [true|false]
              Add  Access-Control-Allow-Origin  header  field  with  value * to the RPC response.
              Default: false

       --rpc-certificate=<FILE>
              Use the certificate in FILE for RPC server.  The  certificate  must  be  either  in
              PKCS12 (.p12, .pfx) or in PEM format.

              PKCS12  files  must  contain  the  certificate,  a  key  and  optionally a chain of
              additional certificates. Only PKCS12 files with a  blank  import  password  can  be
              opened!

              When  using PEM, you have to specify the private key via --rpc-private-key as well.
              Use --rpc-secure option to enable encryption.

              NOTE:
                 WinTLS does not support PEM files at the moment. Users have to use PKCS12 files.

              NOTE:
                 AppleTLS users should use the  KeyChain  Access  utility  to  first  generate  a
                 self-signed  SSL-Server  certificate,  e.g.  using the wizard, and get the SHA-1
                 fingerprint from the Information dialog corresponding to that  new  certificate.
                 To  start aria2c with --rpc-secure use --rpc-certificate=<SHA-1>.  Alternatively
                 PKCS12 files are also supported. PEM files, however, are not supported.

       --rpc-listen-all [true|false]
              Listen incoming JSON-RPC/XML-RPC requests on all network interfaces.  If  false  is
              given, listen only on local loopback interface.  Default: false

       --rpc-listen-port=<PORT>
              Specify  a  port number for JSON-RPC/XML-RPC server to listen to.  Possible Values:
              1024 -65535 Default: 6800

       --rpc-max-request-size=<SIZE>
              Set max size of JSON-RPC/XML-RPC request. If aria2 detects the request is more than
              SIZE bytes, it drops connection. Default: 2M

       --rpc-passwd=<PASSWD>
              Set JSON-RPC/XML-RPC password.

              WARNING:
                 --rpc-passwd  option  will  be  deprecated  in  the  future  release. Migrate to
                 --rpc-secret option as soon as possible.

       --rpc-private-key=<FILE>
              Use the private key in FILE for RPC server.  The private key must be decrypted  and
              in   PEM   format.   Use   --rpc-secure  option  to  enable  encryption.  See  also
              --rpc-certificate option.

       --rpc-save-upload-metadata [true|false]
              Save the uploaded torrent or metalink meta data in the directory specified by --dir
              option.  The  file  name  consists  of  SHA-1  hash  hex  string  of meta data 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. Default: true

       --rpc-secret=<TOKEN>
              Set RPC secret authorization token. Read RPC authorization secret token to know how
              this option value is used.

       --rpc-secure [true|false]
              RPC  transport will be encrypted by SSL/TLS.  The RPC clients must use https scheme
              to access the server. For WebSocket client, use wss scheme.  Use  --rpc-certificate
              and --rpc-private-key options to specify the server certificate and private key.

       --rpc-user=<USER>
              Set JSON-RPC/XML-RPC user.

              WARNING:
                 --rpc-user  option  will  be  deprecated  in  the  future  release.  Migrate  to
                 --rpc-secret option as soon as possible.

   Advanced Options
       --allow-overwrite [true|false]
              Restart download from scratch if the corresponding control file doesn't exist.  See
              also --auto-file-renaming option.  Default: false

       --allow-piece-length-change [true|false]
              If  false is given, aria2 aborts download when a piece length is different from one
              in a control file.  If true is given, you can proceed but  some  download  progress
              will be lost.  Default: false

       --always-resume [true|false]
              Always resume download. If true is given, aria2 always tries to resume download and
              if resume is not possible, aborts download.  If false is given, when all given URIs
              do  not  support resume or aria2 encounters N URIs which does not support resume (N
              is the value specified using --max-resume-failure-tries  option),  aria2  downloads
              file from scratch.  See --max-resume-failure-tries option. Default: true

       --async-dns [true|false]
              Enable asynchronous DNS.  Default: true

       --async-dns-server=<IPADDRESS>[,...]
              Comma  separated  list  of  DNS  server  address used in asynchronous DNS resolver.
              Usually asynchronous DNS resolver reads DNS server addresses from /etc/resolv.conf.
              When  this  option is used, it uses DNS servers specified in this option instead of
              ones in /etc/resolv.conf. You can specify both IPv4 and IPv6 address.  This  option
              is useful when the system does not have /etc/resolv.conf and user does not have the
              permission to create it.

       --auto-file-renaming [true|false]
              Rename file name if the same file  already  exists.   This  option  works  only  in
              HTTP(S)/FTP  download.   The new file name has a dot and a number(1..9999) appended
              after the name, but before the file extension, if any.  Default: true

       --auto-save-interval=<SEC>
              Save a control file(*.aria2) every SEC seconds.  If 0 is given, a control  file  is
              not  saved  during download. aria2 saves a control file when it stops regardless of
              the value.  The possible values are between 0 to 600.  Default: 60

       --conditional-get [true|false]
              Download file only when the local file is older than  remote  file.  This  function
              only works with HTTP(S) downloads only.  It does not work if file size is specified
              in Metalink. It also ignores Content-Disposition header.  If a control file exists,
              this  option  will  be ignored.  This function uses If-Modified-Since header to get
              only newer file conditionally. When getting modification time  of  local  file,  it
              uses  user  supplied file name (see --out option) or file name part in URI if --out
              is not specified.  To  overwrite  existing  file,  --allow-overwrite  is  required.
              Default: false

       --conf-path=<PATH>
              Change  the  configuration  file path to PATH.  Default: $HOME/.aria2/aria2.conf if
              present, otherwise $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/aria2/aria2.conf.

       --console-log-level=<LEVEL>
              Set log level to output to console.  LEVEL is either debug, info, notice,  warn  or
              error.  Default: notice

       --content-disposition-default-utf8 [true|false]
              Handle  quoted string in Content-Disposition header as UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1,
              for example, the filename  parameter,  but  not  the  extended  version  filename*.
              Default: false

       -D, --daemon [true|false]
              Run  as  daemon.  The  current  working directory will be changed to / and standard
              input, standard output and standard error will be redirected to /dev/null. Default:
              false

       --deferred-input [true|false]
              If  true  is given, aria2 does not read all URIs and options from file specified by
              --input-file option at startup, but it reads one by one when it needs  later.  This
              may reduce memory usage if input file contains a lot of URIs to download.  If false
              is given, aria2 reads all URIs and options at startup.  Default: false

              WARNING:
                 --deferred-input option will be disabled when --save-session is used together.

       --disable-ipv6 [true|false]
              Disable IPv6. This is useful if you have to  use  broken  DNS  and  want  to  avoid
              terribly slow AAAA record lookup. Default: false

       --disk-cache=<SIZE>
              Enable  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 I/O because the data are written in larger  unit  and
              it  is  reordered  by the offset of the file.  If hash checking is involved and the
              data are cached in memory, we don't need to read them  from  the  disk.   SIZE  can
              include K or M (1K = 1024, 1M = 1024K). Default: 16M

       --download-result=<OPT>
              This option changes the way Download Results is formatted. If OPT is default, print
              GID, status, average download speed and path/URI. If multiple files  are  involved,
              path/URI of first requested file is printed and remaining ones are omitted.  If OPT
              is full, print GID, status, average download  speed,  percentage  of  progress  and
              path/URI.  The  percentage  of progress and path/URI are printed for each requested
              file in each row.  If OPT is hide, Download Results is hidden.  Default: default

       --dscp=<DSCP>
              Set DSCP value in outgoing IP packets of BitTorrent traffic for QoS. This parameter
              sets  only  DSCP  bits in TOS field of IP packets, not the whole field. If you take
              values from /usr/include/netinet/ip.h divide them by 4 (otherwise values  would  be
              incorrect,  e.g.  your  CS1  class  would turn into CS4). If you take commonly used
              values from RFC, network vendors' documentation, Wikipedia or any other source, use
              them as they are.

       --rlimit-nofile=<NUM>
              Set the soft limit of open file descriptors.  This open will only have effect when:

                 a. The system supports it (posix)

                 b. The limit does not exceed the hard limit.

                 c. The specified limit is larger than the current soft limit.

              This is equivalent to setting nofile via ulimit, except that it will never decrease
              the limit.

              This option is only available on systems supporting the rlimit API.

       --enable-color [true|false]
              Enable color output for a terminal.  Default: true

       --enable-mmap [true|false]
              Map files into memory.  This  option  may  not  work  if  the  file  space  is  not
              pre-allocated. See --file-allocation.

              Default: false

       --event-poll=<POLL>
              Specify  the  method  for  polling  events.  The possible values are epoll, kqueue,
              port, poll and select.  For each epoll, kqueue, port and poll, it is  available  if
              system  supports  it.   epoll  is available on recent Linux. kqueue is available on
              various *BSD systems including Mac OS X. port is available  on  Open  Solaris.  The
              default value may vary depending on the system you use.

       --file-allocation=<METHOD>
              Specify  file  allocation  method.   none doesn't pre-allocate file space. prealloc
              pre-allocates file space before download begins. This may take some time  depending
              on  the  size  of the file.  If you are using newer file systems such as ext4 (with
              extents support), btrfs, xfs or NTFS(MinGW build only), falloc is your best choice.
              It  allocates  large(few  GiB) files almost instantly. Don't use falloc with legacy
              file systems such as ext3 and FAT32 because it takes almost same time  as  prealloc
              and it blocks aria2 entirely until allocation finishes. falloc may not be available
              if your system doesn't have posix_fallocate(3) function.  trunc  uses  ftruncate(2)
              system  call  or  platform-specific  counterpart  to truncate a file to a specified
              length.

              Possible Values: none, prealloc, trunc, falloc Default: prealloc

              WARNING:
                 Using trunc seemingly allocates disk space very quickly, but  what  it  actually
                 does  is that it sets file length metadata in file system, and does not allocate
                 disk space at all.  This means that it does not help avoiding fragmentation.

              NOTE:
                 In multi file torrent downloads, the files adjacent  forward  to  the  specified
                 files are also allocated if they share the same piece.

       --force-save [true|false]
              Save  download  with  --save-session  option  even  if the download is completed or
              removed. This option also saves control file in that situations. This may be useful
              to save BitTorrent seeding which is recognized as completed state.  Default: false

       --save-not-found [true|false]
              Save  download  with  --save-session  option  even if the file was not found on the
              server. This option also saves control file in that situations.  Default: true

       --gid=<GID>
              Set GID manually. aria2 identifies each download by the ID called GID. The GID must
              be hex string of 16 characters, thus [0-9a-fA-F] 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.

       --hash-check-only [true|false]
              If  true  is given, after hash check using --check-integrity option, abort download
              whether or not download is complete.  Default: false

       --human-readable [true|false]
              Print sizes and speed in human readable format (e.g., 1.2Ki, 3.4Mi) in the  console
              readout. Default: true

       --interface=<INTERFACE>
              Bind  sockets  to  given  interface. You can specify interface name, IP address and
              host name.  Possible Values: interface, IP address, host name

              NOTE:
                 If an interface has multiple addresses, it is highly recommended to  specify  IP
                 address  explicitly.  See  also  --disable-ipv6.   If  your  system doesn't have
                 getifaddrs(3), this option doesn't accept interface name.

       --keep-unfinished-download-result [true|false]
              Keep 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.  If that is undesirable, turn this
              option off.  Default: true

       --max-download-result=<NUM>
              Set maximum number of download result kept in  memory.  The  download  results  are
              completed/error/removed  downloads.  The  download results are stored in FIFO queue
              and it can store at most NUM download results. When queue is full and new  download
              result  is  created,  oldest download result is removed from the front of the queue
              and new one is pushed to the back. Setting big number in  this  option  may  result
              high  memory  consumption  after  thousands  of  downloads.  Specifying  0 means no
              download result is kept.   Note  that  unfinished  downloads  are  kept  in  memory
              regardless  of  this  option  value.  See --keep-unfinished-download-result option.
              Default: 1000

       --max-mmap-limit=<SIZE>
              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.  Default: 9223372036854775807

       --max-resume-failure-tries=<N>
              When used with --always-resume=false, aria2 downloads file from scratch when  aria2
              detects  N  number of URIs that does not support resume. If N is 0, aria2 downloads
              file from scratch when all given URIs do not support resume.   See  --always-resume
              option.  Default: 0

       --min-tls-version=<VERSION>
              Specify  minimum  SSL/TLS  version  to  enable.  Possible Values: TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2,
              TLSv1.3 Default: TLSv1.2

       --multiple-interface=<INTERFACES>
              Comma separated list of interfaces to bind sockets to.  Requests  will  be  splited
              among  the  interfaces to achieve link aggregation. You can specify interface name,
              IP address and hostname. If --interface is  used,  this  option  will  be  ignored.
              Possible Values: interface, IP address, hostname

       --log-level=<LEVEL>
              Set  log  level  to  output.   LEVEL  is either debug, info, notice, warn or error.
              Default: debug

       --on-bt-download-complete=<COMMAND>
              For BitTorrent, a command  specified  in  --on-download-complete  is  called  after
              download  completed  and  seeding  is  over. On the other hand, this option set the
              command to be executed after download completed but before seeding.  See Event Hook
              for more details about COMMAND.  Possible Values: /path/to/command

       --on-download-complete=<COMMAND>
              Set  the  command to be executed after download completed.  See Event Hook for more
              details about COMMAND.   See  also  --on-download-stop  option.   Possible  Values:
              /path/to/command

       --on-download-error=<COMMAND>
              Set the command to be executed after download aborted due to error.  See Event Hook
              for more details about COMMAND.   See  also  --on-download-stop  option.   Possible
              Values: /path/to/command

       --on-download-pause=<COMMAND>
              Set  the command to be executed after download was paused.  See Event Hook for more
              details about COMMAND.  Possible Values: /path/to/command

       --on-download-start=<COMMAND>
              Set the command to be executed after download got started.  See Event Hook for more
              details about COMMAND.  Possible Values: /path/to/command

       --on-download-stop=<COMMAND>
              Set the command to be executed after download stopped. You can override the command
              to be executed for particular  download  result  using  --on-download-complete  and
              --on-download-error. If they are specified, command specified in this option is not
              executed.  See Event  Hook  for  more  details  about  COMMAND.   Possible  Values:
              /path/to/command

       --optimize-concurrent-downloads [true|false|<A>:<B>]
              Optimizes  the number of concurrent downloads according to the bandwidth available.
              aria2 uses the download speed observed in  the  previous  downloads  to  adapt  the
              number  of  downloads  launched  in  parallel  according  to  the  rule  N  = A + B
              Log10(speed in Mbps). The coefficients A and B can  be  customized  in  the  option
              arguments with A and B separated by a colon. The default values (A=5, B=25) lead to
              using typically 5 parallel downloads on 1Mbps networks  and  above  50  on  100Mbps
              networks.  The  number  of parallel downloads remains constrained under the maximum
              defined by the --max-concurrent-downloads parameter.  Default: false

       --piece-length=<LENGTH>
              Set a piece length for HTTP/FTP downloads. This is the boundary when aria2 splits a
              file.  All  splits occur at multiple of this length. This option will be ignored in
              BitTorrent downloads.  It will be also ignored  if  Metalink  file  contains  piece
              hashes.  Default: 1M

              NOTE:
                 The  possible  use  case of --piece-length option is change the request range in
                 one   HTTP   pipelined    request.     To    enable    HTTP    pipelining    use
                 --enable-http-pipelining.

       --show-console-readout [true|false]
              Show console readout. Default: true

       --stderr [true|false]
              Redirect  all  console  output that would be otherwise printed in stdout to stderr.
              Default: false

       --summary-interval=<SEC>
              Set interval in seconds to output download progress summary.  Setting 0  suppresses
              the output.  Default: 60

       -Z, --force-sequential [true|false]
              Fetch  URIs  in  the  command-line sequentially and download each URI in a separate
              session, like the usual command-line download utilities.  Default: false

       --max-overall-download-limit=<SPEED>
              Set max overall download speed in bytes/sec.  0 means unrestricted.  You can append
              K  or  M  (1K  =  1024, 1M = 1024K).  To limit the download speed per download, use
              --max-download-limit option.  Default: 0

       --max-download-limit=<SPEED>
              Set max download speed per each download in bytes/sec. 0 means  unrestricted.   You
              can  append  K  or M (1K = 1024, 1M = 1024K).  To limit the overall download speed,
              use --max-overall-download-limit option.  Default: 0

       --no-conf [true|false]
              Disable loading aria2.conf file.

       --no-file-allocation-limit=<SIZE>
              No file allocation is made for files whose size is  smaller  than  SIZE.   You  can
              append K or M (1K = 1024, 1M = 1024K).  Default: 5M

       -P, --parameterized-uri [true|false]
              Enable    parameterized   URI   support.    You   can   specify   set   of   parts:
              http://{sv1,sv2,sv3}/foo.iso.  Also you can specify  numeric  sequences  with  step
              counter:  http://host/image[000-100:2].img.  A step counter can be omitted.  If all
              URIs do not point to the same file, such as the second example above, -Z option  is
              required.  Default: false

       -q, --quiet [true|false]
              Make aria2 quiet (no console output).  Default: false

       --realtime-chunk-checksum [true|false]
              Validate  chunk  of  data by calculating checksum while downloading a file if chunk
              checksums are provided.  Default: true

       --remove-control-file [true|false]
              Remove control file before download. Using  with  --allow-overwrite=true,  download
              always starts from scratch. This will be useful for users behind proxy server which
              disables resume.

       --save-session=<FILE>
              Save error/unfinished downloads to FILE on exit.  You can pass this output file  to
              aria2c  with  --input-file  option on restart. If you like the output to be gzipped
              append a .gz extension to the file name.   Please  note  that  downloads  added  by
              aria2.addTorrent() and aria2.addMetalink() RPC method and whose meta data could not
              be saved as a file are not  saved.   Downloads  removed  using  aria2.remove()  and
              aria2.forceRemove()  will  not  be saved. GID is also saved with gid, but there are
              some restrictions, see below.

              NOTE:
                 Normally, GID of the download itself is saved. But some downloads use meta  data
                 (e.g., BitTorrent and Metalink). In this case, there are some restrictions.

                 magnet URI, and followed by torrent download
                        GID of BitTorrent meta data download is saved.

                 URI to torrent file, and followed by torrent download
                        GID of torrent file download is saved.

                 URI to metalink file, and followed by file downloads described in metalink file
                        GID of metalink file download is saved.

                 local torrent file
                        GID of torrent download is saved.

                 local metalink file
                        Any meaningful GID is not saved.

       --save-session-interval=<SEC>
              Save  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. Default: 0

       --socket-recv-buffer-size=<SIZE>
              Set the maximum socket receive buffer in bytes.  Specifying  0  will  disable  this
              option.  This  value  will  be set to socket file descriptor using SO_RCVBUF socket
              option with setsockopt() call.  Default: 0

       --stop=<SEC>
              Stop application after SEC seconds has passed.  If 0  is  given,  this  feature  is
              disabled.  Default: 0

       --stop-with-process=<PID>
              Stop  application when process PID is not running.  This is useful if aria2 process
              is forked from a parent process. The parent process can fork aria2 with its own pid
              and  when  parent  process  exits for some reason, aria2 can detect it and shutdown
              itself.

       --truncate-console-readout [true|false]
              Truncate console readout to fit in a single line.  Default: true

       -v, --version
              Print the version number, copyright and the configuration information and exit.

   Notes for Options
   Optional arguments
       The options that have its argument surrounded by  square  brackets([])  take  an  optional
       argument.  Usually  omitting  the argument is evaluated to true.  If you use short form of
       these options(such as -V) and give an argument, then the  option  name  and  its  argument
       should  be concatenated(e.g.  -Vfalse). If any spaces are inserted between the option name
       and the argument, the argument will be treated as URI and usually this  is  not  what  you
       expect.

   Units (K and M)
       Some options takes K and M to conveniently represent 1024 and 1048576 respectively.  aria2
       detects these characters in case-insensitive way. In other words, k and m can be  used  as
       well as K and M respectively.

   URI, MAGNET, TORRENT_FILE, METALINK_FILE
       You  can  specify  multiple  URIs  in command-line.  Unless you specify --force-sequential
       option, all URIs must point to the same file or downloading will fail.

       You can specify arbitrary number of BitTorrent Magnet  URI.  Please  note  that  they  are
       always  treated  as  a  separate  download.   Both hex encoded 40 characters Info Hash and
       Base32 encoded 32 characters Info Hash are  supported.  The  multiple  tr  parameters  are
       supported.   Because  BitTorrent Magnet URI is likely to contain & character, it is highly
       recommended to always quote URI with single(') or double(")  quotation.   It  is  strongly
       recommended   to   enable   DHT   especially   when   tr   parameter   is   missing.   See
       http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0009.html for more details about BitTorrent Magnet URI.

       You can also specify arbitrary number of torrent files and Metalink documents stored on  a
       local  drive.  Please  note  that  they  are  always  treated as a separate download. Both
       Metalink4 and Metalink version 3.0 are supported.

       You can specify both torrent file with -T option and URIs. By doing this, you can download
       a  file  from  both  torrent swarm and HTTP(S)/FTP/SFTP server at the same time, while the
       data from HTTP(S)/FTP/SFTP are uploaded to the torrent swarm.  For single  file  torrents,
       URI  can be a complete URI pointing to the resource or if URI ends with /, name in torrent
       file in torrent is added. For multi-file torrents, name and path are added to form  a  URI
       for each file.

       NOTE:
          Make  sure that URI is quoted with single(') or double(") quotation if it contains & or
          any characters that have special meaning in shell.

   Resuming Download
       Usually, you can resume transfer by just issuing same command (aria2c URI) if the previous
       transfer is made by aria2.

       If  the  previous  transfer is made by a browser or wget like sequential download manager,
       then use --continue option to continue the transfer.

   Event Hook
       aria2 provides options  to  specify  arbitrary  command  after  specific  event  occurred.
       Currently following options are available: --on-bt-download-complete, --on-download-pause,
       --on-download-complete.  --on-download-start, --on-download-error, --on-download-stop.

       aria2 passes 3 arguments to specified command when it is executed.  These  arguments  are:
       GID,  the  number  of files and file path.  For HTTP, FTP, and SFTP downloads, usually the
       number of files is 1.  BitTorrent download can contain multiple files.  If number of files
       is  more  than one, file path is first one.  In other words, this is the value of path key
       of first struct whose selected key is true in the response of aria2.getFiles() RPC method.
       If  you  want  to  get all file paths, consider to use JSON-RPC/XML-RPC.  Please note that
       file path may change during download in HTTP because of redirection or Content-Disposition
       header.

       Let's see an example of how arguments are passed to command:

          $ cat hook.sh
          #!/bin/sh
          echo "Called with [$1] [$2] [$3]"
          $ aria2c --on-download-complete hook.sh http://example.org/file.iso
          Called with [1] [1] [/path/to/file.iso]

EXIT STATUS

       Because  aria2  can  handle  multiple downloads at once, it encounters lots of errors in a
       session.  aria2 returns the following exit status based on the last error encountered.

       0      If all downloads were successful.

       1      If an unknown error occurred.

       2      If time out occurred.

       3      If a resource was not found.

       4      If  aria2  saw  the  specified  number  of  "resource  not   found"   error.    See
              --max-file-not-found option.

       5      If   a   download   aborted   because   download   speed   was   too   slow.    See
              --lowest-speed-limit option.

       6      If network problem occurred.

       7      If there were unfinished downloads. This error is only  reported  if  all  finished
              downloads were successful and there were unfinished downloads in a queue when aria2
              exited by pressing Ctrl-C by an user or sending TERM or INT signal.

       8      If remote server did not support  resume  when  resume  was  required  to  complete
              download.

       9      If there was not enough disk space available.

       10     If   piece   length   was   different   from   one  in  .aria2  control  file.  See
              --allow-piece-length-change option.

       11     If aria2 was downloading same file at that moment.

       12     If aria2 was downloading same info hash torrent at that moment.

       13     If file already existed. See --allow-overwrite option.

       14     If renaming file failed. See --auto-file-renaming option.

       15     If aria2 could not open existing file.

       16     If aria2 could not create new file or truncate existing file.

       17     If file I/O error occurred.

       18     If aria2 could not create directory.

       19     If name resolution failed.

       20     If aria2 could not parse Metalink document.

       21     If FTP command failed.

       22     If HTTP response header was bad or unexpected.

       23     If too many redirects  occurred.

       24     If HTTP authorization failed.

       25     If aria2 could not parse bencoded file (usually ".torrent" file).

       26     If ".torrent" file was corrupted or missing information that aria2 needed.

       27     If Magnet URI was bad.

       28     If bad/unrecognized option was given or unexpected option argument was given.

       29     If the remote  server  was  unable  to  handle  the  request  due  to  a  temporary
              overloading or maintenance.

       30     If aria2 could not parse JSON-RPC request.

       31     Reserved.  Not used.

       32     If checksum validation failed.

       NOTE:
          An error occurred in a finished download will not be reported as exit status.

ENVIRONMENT

       aria2 recognizes the following environment variables.

       http_proxy [http://][USER:PASSWORD@]HOST[:PORT]
              Specify  proxy server for use in HTTP.  Overrides http-proxy value in configuration
              file.  The command-line option --http-proxy overrides this value.

       https_proxy [http://][USER:PASSWORD@]HOST[:PORT]
              Specify  proxy  server  for  use  in  HTTPS.   Overrides   https-proxy   value   in
              configuration file.  The command-line option --https-proxy overrides this value.

       ftp_proxy [http://][USER:PASSWORD@]HOST[:PORT]
              Specify  proxy  server  for use in FTP.  Overrides ftp-proxy value in configuration
              file.  The command-line option --ftp-proxy overrides this value.

       all_proxy [http://][USER:PASSWORD@]HOST[:PORT]
              Specify proxy server for use if no protocol-specific proxy is specified.  Overrides
              all-proxy  value  in  configuration  file.   The  command-line  option  --all-proxy
              overrides this value.

       NOTE:
          Although aria2 accepts ftp:// and https:// scheme in proxy URI, it simply assumes  that
          http:// is specified and does not change its behavior based on the specified scheme.

       no_proxy [DOMAIN,...]
              Specify a comma-separated list of host names, domains and network addresses with or
              without a subnet mask where no proxy should be used.  Overrides the no-proxy  value
              in configuration file.  The command-line option --no-proxy overrides this value.

FILES

   aria2.conf
       By  default,  aria2  checks  whether  the  legacy path $HOME/.aria2/aria2.conf is present,
       otherwise it parses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/aria2/aria2.conf as its configuration file.  You  can
       specify the path to configuration file using --conf-path option.  If you don't want to use
       the configuration file, use --no-conf option.

       The configuration file is a text file and has 1 option per each line. In  each  line,  you
       can specify name-value pair in the format: NAME=VALUE, where name is the long command-line
       option name without -- prefix. You can use same syntax for the  command-line  option.  The
       lines beginning # are treated as comments:

          # sample configuration file for aria2c
          listen-port=60000
          dht-listen-port=60000
          seed-ratio=1.0
          max-upload-limit=50K
          ftp-pasv=true

       NOTE:
          The   confidential   information  such  as  user/password  might  be  included  in  the
          configuration file. It is recommended to change file mode  bits  of  the  configuration
          file  (e.g.,  chmod  600 aria2.conf), so that other user cannot see the contents of the
          file.

       The environment variables, such as ${HOME}, are expanded by shell.  This means that  those
       variables  used  in configuration file are not expanded.  However, it is useful to ${HOME}
       to refer user's home directory in configuration file to specify  file  paths.   Therefore,
       aria2 expands ${HOME} found in the following option values to user's home directory:

       • ca-certificatecertificatedht-file-pathdht-file-path6dirinput-fileload-cookieslogmetalink-filenetrc-pathon-bt-download-completeon-download-completeon-download-erroron-download-starton-download-stopon-download-pauseoutprivate-keyrpc-certificaterpc-private-keysave-cookiessave-sessionserver-stat-ifserver-stat-oftorrent-file

       Note  that  this  expansion occurs even if the above options are used in the command-line.
       This means that expansion may occur 2 times: first, shell and then aria2c.

   dht.dat
       Unless the legacy file paths $HOME/.aria2/dht.dat and $HOME/.aria2/dht6.dat  are  pointing
       to   existing   files,   the   routing   table   of   IPv4   DHT  is  saved  to  the  path
       $XDG_CACHE_HOME/aria2/dht.dat and the routing table of IPv6  DHT  is  saved  to  the  path
       $XDG_CACHE_HOME/aria2/dht6.dat.

   Netrc
       Netrc  support  is  enabled  by  default  for HTTP(S)/FTP/SFTP.  To disable netrc support,
       specify --no-netrc option.  Your .netrc file should have correct permissions(600).

       If machine name starts ., aria2 performs domain-match instead of exact match. This  is  an
       extension of aria2. For example of domain match, imagine the following .netrc entry:

          machine .example.org login myid password mypasswd

       aria2.example.org domain-matches .example.org and uses myid and mypasswd.

       Some   domain-match  example  follow:  example.net  does  not  domain-match  .example.org.
       example.org does not domain-match .example.org because of preceding  ..  If  you  want  to
       match example.org, specify example.org.

   Control File
       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  file  name  is  the  file  name  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.)

       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.

       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.

   Input File
       The input file can contain a list of URIs for aria2 to download.  You can specify multiple
       URIs for a single entity: separate URIs on a single line using the TAB character.

       Each line is treated as if it is provided in command-line argument.   Therefore  they  are
       affected by --force-sequential and --parameterized-uri options.

       Since  URIs  in  the  input  file are directly read by aria2, they must not be quoted with
       single(') or double(") quotation.

       Lines starting with # are treated as comments and skipped.

       Additionally, the following options can be  specified  after  each  line  of  URIs.  These
       optional lines must start with white space(s).

       These  options  have  exactly same meaning of the ones in the command-line options, but it
       just applies to the URIs it belongs to.  Please note that for options  in  input  file  --
       prefix must be stripped.

       For example, the content of uri.txt is:

          http://server/file.iso http://mirror/file.iso
            dir=/iso_images
            out=file.img
          http://foo/bar

       If  aria2  is  executed  with  -i  uri.txt  -d  /tmp  options,  then  file.iso is saved as
       /iso_images/file.img   and   it   is   downloaded    from    http://server/file.iso    and
       http://mirror/file.iso.   The  file  bar  is  downloaded  from http://foo/bar and saved as
       /tmp/bar.

       In some  cases,  out  parameter  has  no  effect.   See  note  of  --out  option  for  the
       restrictions.

   Server Performance Profile
       This  section  describes the format of server performance profile.  The file is plain text
       and each line has several NAME=VALUE pair, delimited by comma.  Currently following  NAMEs
       are recognized:

       host   Host name of the server. Required.

       protocol
              Protocol for this profile, such as ftp, http. Required.

       dl_speed
              The  average  download  speed  observed  in the previous download in bytes per sec.
              Required.

       sc_avg_speed
              The average download speed observed in the previous download in bytes per sec. This
              value  is only updated if the download is done in single connection environment and
              only used by AdaptiveURISelector. Optional.

       mc_avg_speed
              The average download speed observed in the previous download in bytes per sec. This
              value  is  only updated if the download is done in multi connection environment and
              only used by AdaptiveURISelector. Optional.

       counter
              How many  times  the  server  is  used.  Currently  this  value  is  only  used  by
              AdaptiveURISelector.  Optional.

       last_updated
              Last  contact  time  in  GMT  with  this server, specified in the seconds since the
              Epoch(00:00:00 on January 1, 1970, UTC). Required.

       status ERROR is set when server cannot be reached or out-of-service or  timeout  occurred.
              Otherwise, OK is set.

       Those  fields  must exist in one line. The order of the fields is not significant. You can
       put pairs other than the above; they are simply ignored.

       An example follows:

          host=localhost, protocol=http, dl_speed=32000, last_updated=1222491640, status=OK
          host=localhost, protocol=ftp, dl_speed=0, last_updated=1222491632, status=ERROR

RPC INTERFACE

       aria2 provides JSON-RPC over HTTP and XML-RPC over HTTP interfaces  that  offer  basically
       the  same  functionality.   aria2  also  provides  JSON-RPC  over WebSocket. JSON-RPC over
       WebSocket uses the same method signatures and response format as JSON-RPC over  HTTP,  but
       additionally  provides server-initiated notifications. See JSON-RPC over WebSocket section
       for more information.

       The request path of the JSON-RPC interface (for both over  HTTP  and  over  WebSocket)  is
       /jsonrpc.  The request path of the XML-RPC interface is /rpc.

       The  WebSocket  URI  for JSON-RPC over WebSocket is ws://HOST:PORT/jsonrpc. If you enabled
       SSL/TLS encryption, use wss://HOST:PORT/jsonrpc instead.

       The implemented JSON-RPC is based on JSON-RPC 2.0 <http://jsonrpc.org/specification>,  and
       supports HTTP POST and GET (JSONP).  The WebSocket transport is an aria2 extension.

       The  JSON-RPC  interface does not support notifications over HTTP, but the RPC server will
       send notifications over WebSocket. It also does not support floating  point  numbers.  The
       character encoding must be UTF-8.

       When reading the following documentation for JSON-RPC, interpret structs as JSON objects.

   Terminology
       GID
          The  GID  (or  gid)  is a key to manage each download. Each download will be assigned a
          unique GID. The GID is stored as 64-bit binary value in aria2.  For RPC access,  it  is
          represented  as a hex string of 16 characters (e.g., 2089b05ecca3d829). Normally, aria2
          generates this GID for each download, but the user can specify GIDs manually using  the
          --gid  option. When querying downloads by GID, you can specify only the prefix of a GID
          as long as it is unique among others.

   RPC authorization secret token
       As of 1.18.4, in addition to HTTP basic authorization,  aria2  provides  RPC  method-level
       authorization.  In  a  future  release,  HTTP  basic authorization will be removed and RPC
       method-level authorization will become mandatory.

       To use RPC method-level authorization, the user has to specify an RPC secret authorization
       token  using  the --rpc-secret option. For each RPC method call, the caller has to include
       the token prefixed with token:. Even when the --rpc-secret option  is  not  used,  if  the
       first parameter in the RPC method is a string and starts with token:, it will removed from
       the parameter list before the request is being processed.

       For example, if the RPC secret authorization token is $$secret$$, calling aria2.addUri RPC
       method would have to look like this:

          aria2.addUri("token:$$secret$$", ["http://example.org/file"])

       The system.multicall RPC method is treated specially. Since the XML-RPC specification only
       allows a single array as a parameter for this method, we don't specify the  token  in  the
       call.  Instead, each nested method call has to provide the token as the first parameter as
       described above.

       NOTE:
          The secret token validation in aria2 is designed to take at least a certain  amount  of
          time to mitigate brute-force/dictionary attacks against the RPC interface. Therefore it
          is recommended to prefer Batch or system.multicall requests when appropriate.

          system.listMethods and system.listNotifications can be executed  without  token.  Since
          they  just  return available methods/notifications, they do not alter anything, they're
          safe without secret token.

   Methods
       All code examples are compatible with the Python 2.7 interpreter.  For information on  the
       secret parameter, see RPC authorization secret token.

       aria2.addUri([secret], uris[, options[, position]])
              This  method adds a new download. uris is an array of HTTP/FTP/SFTP/BitTorrent URIs
              (strings) pointing to the same resource.  If you mix  URIs  pointing  to  different
              resources,  then  the  download may fail or be corrupted without aria2 complaining.
              When adding BitTorrent Magnet URIs, uris must have only one element and  it  should
              be  BitTorrent Magnet URI.  options is a struct and its members are pairs of option
              name and value.  See Options below for more details.  If position is given, it must
              be an integer starting from 0. The new download will be inserted at position in the
              waiting queue. If position is omitted or position is larger than the  current  size
              of  the  queue,  the new download is appended to the end of the queue.  This method
              returns the GID of the newly registered download.

              JSON-RPC Example

              The following example adds http://example.org/file:

                 >>> import urllib2, json
                 >>> jsonreq = json.dumps({'jsonrpc':'2.0', 'id':'qwer',
                 ...                       'method':'aria2.addUri',
                 ...                       'params':[['http://example.org/file']]})
                 >>> c = urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost:6800/jsonrpc', jsonreq)
                 >>> c.read()
                 '{"id":"qwer","jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"2089b05ecca3d829"}'

              XML-RPC Example

              The following example adds http://example.org/file:

                 >>> import xmlrpclib
                 >>> s = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:6800/rpc')
                 >>> s.aria2.addUri(['http://example.org/file'])
                 '2089b05ecca3d829'

              The following example adds a new download with two sources and some options:

                 >>> s.aria2.addUri(['http://example.org/file', 'http://mirror/file'],
                                     dict(dir="/tmp"))
                 'd2703803b52216d1'

              The following example adds a download and inserts it to the front of the queue:

                 >>> s.aria2.addUri(['http://example.org/file'], {}, 0)
                 'ca3d829cee549a4d'

       aria2.addTorrent([secret], torrent[, uris[, options[, position]]])
              This method adds a BitTorrent download by uploading a ".torrent" file.  If you want
              to  add  a  BitTorrent  Magnet URI, use the aria2.addUri() method instead.  torrent
              must be a base64-encoded string containing the contents  of  the  ".torrent"  file.
              uris  is  an array of URIs (string). uris is used for Web-seeding.  For single file
              torrents, the URI can be a complete URI pointing to the resource; if URI ends  with
              /, name in torrent file is added. For multi-file torrents, name and path in torrent
              are added to form a URI for each file.  options is a struct  and  its  members  are
              pairs  of  option name and value.  See Options below for more details.  If position
              is given, it must be an integer starting from 0. The new download will be  inserted
              at position in the waiting queue. If position is omitted or position is larger than
              the current size of the queue, the new download is  appended  to  the  end  of  the
              queue.   This  method  returns  the  GID  of  the  newly  registered  download.  If
              --rpc-save-upload-metadata is true, the uploaded data is saved as a file  named  as
              the  hex string of SHA-1 hash of data plus ".torrent" in the directory specified by
              --dir       option.        E.g.       a       file       name       might        be
              0a3893293e27ac0490424c06de4d09242215f0a6.torrent.   If  a  file  with the same name
              already exists, it is overwritten!  If the file cannot  be  saved  successfully  or
              --rpc-save-upload-metadata  is  false,  the  downloads added by this method are not
              saved by --save-session.

              The following examples add local file file.torrent.

              JSON-RPC Example

                 >>> import urllib2, json, base64
                 >>> torrent = base64.b64encode(open('file.torrent').read())
                 >>> jsonreq = json.dumps({'jsonrpc':'2.0', 'id':'asdf',
                 ...                       'method':'aria2.addTorrent', 'params':[torrent]})
                 >>> c = urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost:6800/jsonrpc', jsonreq)
                 >>> c.read()
                 '{"id":"asdf","jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"2089b05ecca3d829"}'

              XML-RPC Example

                 >>> import xmlrpclib
                 >>> s = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:6800/rpc')
                 >>> s.aria2.addTorrent(xmlrpclib.Binary(open('file.torrent', mode='rb').read()))
                 '2089b05ecca3d829'

       aria2.addMetalink([secret], metalink[, options[, position]])
              This method adds a Metalink download by uploading a ".metalink" file.  metalink  is
              a  base64-encoded  string  which  contains  the  contents  of the ".metalink" file.
              options is a struct and its members are  pairs  of  option  name  and  value.   See
              Options  below  for  more  details.   If  position  is given, it must be an integer
              starting from 0. The new download will be  inserted  at  position  in  the  waiting
              queue.  If  position  is omitted or position is larger than the current size of the
              queue, the new download is appended to the end of the queue.  This  method  returns
              an  array  of GIDs of newly registered downloads.  If --rpc-save-upload-metadata is
              true, the uploaded data is saved as a file named hex string of SHA-1 hash  of  data
              plus  ".metalink"  in  the  directory  specified by --dir option.  E.g. a file name
              might be 0a3893293e27ac0490424c06de4d09242215f0a6.metalink.  If  a  file  with  the
              same  name  already  exists,  it  is  overwritten!   If  the  file  cannot be saved
              successfully or --rpc-save-upload-metadata is false, the downloads  added  by  this
              method are not saved by --save-session.

              The following examples add local file file.meta4.

              JSON-RPC Example

                 >>> import urllib2, json, base64
                 >>> metalink = base64.b64encode(open('file.meta4').read())
                 >>> jsonreq = json.dumps({'jsonrpc':'2.0', 'id':'qwer',
                 ...                       'method':'aria2.addMetalink',
                 ...                       'params':[metalink]})
                 >>> c = urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost:6800/jsonrpc', jsonreq)
                 >>> c.read()
                 '{"id":"qwer","jsonrpc":"2.0","result":["2089b05ecca3d829"]}'

              XML-RPC Example

                 >>> import xmlrpclib
                 >>> s = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:6800/rpc')
                 >>> s.aria2.addMetalink(xmlrpclib.Binary(open('file.meta4', mode='rb').read()))
                 ['2089b05ecca3d829']

       aria2.remove([secret], gid)
              This  method  removes  the  download  denoted  by  gid  (string).  If the specified
              download is in progress, it is first stopped.  The status of the  removed  download
              becomes removed.  This method returns GID of removed download.

              The following examples remove a download with GID#2089b05ecca3d829.

              JSON-RPC Example

                 >>> import urllib2, json
                 >>> jsonreq = json.dumps({'jsonrpc':'2.0', 'id':'qwer',
                 ...                       'method':'aria2.remove',
                 ...                       'params':['2089b05ecca3d829']})
                 >>> c = urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost:6800/jsonrpc', jsonreq)
                 >>> c.read()
                 '{"id":"qwer","jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"2089b05ecca3d829"}'

              XML-RPC Example

                 >>> import xmlrpclib

                 '2089b05ecca3d829'

       aria2.forceRemove([secret], gid)
              This  method  removes  the  download denoted by gid.  This method behaves just like
              aria2.remove() except that this method removes the download without performing  any
              actions  which  take time, such as contacting BitTorrent trackers to unregister the
              download first.

       aria2.pause([secret], gid)
              This method pauses the download denoted by gid  (string).   The  status  of  paused
              download becomes paused.  If the download was active, the download is placed in the
              front of waiting queue.  While the status is paused, the download is  not  started.
              To  change  status to waiting, use the aria2.unpause() method.  This method returns
              GID of paused download.

       aria2.pauseAll([secret])
              This method is equal to calling aria2.pause() for  every  active/waiting  download.
              This methods returns OK.

       aria2.forcePause([secret], gid)
              This  method  pauses  the  download  denoted by gid.  This method behaves just like
              aria2.pause() except that this  method  pauses  downloads  without  performing  any
              actions  which  take time, such as contacting BitTorrent trackers to unregister the
              download first.

       aria2.forcePauseAll([secret])
              This method  is  equal  to  calling  aria2.forcePause()  for  every  active/waiting
              download. This methods returns OK.

       aria2.unpause([secret], gid)
              This  method changes the status of the download denoted by gid (string) from paused
              to waiting, making the download eligible to be restarted.  This method returns  the
              GID of the unpaused download.

       aria2.unpauseAll([secret])
              This  method  is  equal  to calling aria2.unpause() for every paused download. This
              methods returns OK.

       aria2.tellStatus([secret], gid[, keys])
              This method returns the progress of the download denoted by gid (string).  keys  is
              an  array  of  strings.  If  specified, the response contains only keys in the keys
              array. If keys is empty or omitted, the response contains all keys. This is  useful
              when  you  just  want  specific keys and avoid unnecessary transfers.  For example,
              aria2.tellStatus("2089b05ecca3d829", ["gid", "status"]) returns the gid and  status
              keys  only.   The  response  is  a  struct  and contains following keys. Values are
              strings.

              gid    GID of the download.

              status active for currently downloading/seeding downloads.  waiting  for  downloads
                     in  the queue; download is not started.  paused for paused downloads.  error
                     for downloads that were stopped  because of error.  complete for stopped and
                     completed downloads.  removed for the downloads removed by user.

              totalLength
                     Total length of the download in bytes.

              completedLength
                     Completed length of the download in bytes.

              uploadLength
                     Uploaded length of the download in bytes.

              bitfield
                     Hexadecimal  representation  of  the  download  progress.  The  highest  bit
                     corresponds to the piece at index 0. Any set bits  indicate  loaded  pieces,
                     while unset bits indicate not yet loaded and/or missing pieces. Any overflow
                     bits at the end are set to zero.  When the download  was  not  started  yet,
                     this key will not be included in the response.

              downloadSpeed
                     Download speed of this download measured in bytes/sec.

              uploadSpeed
                     Upload speed of this download measured in bytes/sec.

              infoHash
                     InfoHash. BitTorrent only.

              numSeeders
                     The number of seeders aria2 has connected to. BitTorrent only.

              seeder true if the local endpoint is a seeder. Otherwise false.  BitTorrent only.

              pieceLength
                     Piece length in bytes.

              numPieces
                     The number of pieces.

              connections
                     The number of peers/servers aria2 has connected to.

              errorCode
                     The code of the last error for this item, if any. The value is a string. The
                     error codes are defined in the EXIT STATUS  section.   This  value  is  only
                     available for stopped/completed downloads.

              errorMessage
                     The (hopefully) human readable error message associated to errorCode.

              followedBy
                     List  of  GIDs  which  are  generated  as  the  result of this download. For
                     example, when aria2  downloads  a  Metalink  file,  it  generates  downloads
                     described  in the Metalink (see the --follow-metalink option). This value is
                     useful to track auto-generated downloads. If there are  no  such  downloads,
                     this key will not be included in the response.

              following
                     The reverse link for followedBy.  A download included in followedBy has this
                     object's GID in its following value.

              belongsTo
                     GID of a parent download. Some downloads are a  part  of  another  download.
                     For example, if a file in a Metalink has BitTorrent resources, the downloads
                     of ".torrent" files are parts of that  parent.   If  this  download  has  no
                     parent, this key will not be included in the response.

              dir    Directory to save files.

              files  Returns  the  list  of files. The elements of this list are the same structs

                     Struct which  contains  information  retrieved  from  the  .torrent  (file).
                     BitTorrent only. It contains following keys.

                     announceList
                            List  of lists of announce URIs. If the torrent contains announce and
                            no announce-list, announce is converted to the announce-list format.

                     comment
                            The comment of the torrent. comment.utf-8 is used if available.

                     creationDate
                            The creation time of the torrent. The value is an integer  since  the
                            epoch, measured in seconds.

                     mode   File mode of the torrent. The value is either single or multi.

                     info   Struct   which  contains  data  from  Info  dictionary.  It  contains

                     The number of verified number of  bytes  while  the  files  are  being  hash
                     checked.  This key exists only when this download is being hash checked.

              verifyIntegrityPending
                     true  if  this  download is waiting for the hash check in a queue.  This key
                     exists only when this download is in the queue.

       aria2.getFiles([secret], gid)
              This method returns the file list of the download denoted  by  gid  (string).   The
              response is an array of structs which contain following keys.  Values are strings.

              index  Index  of  the file, starting at 1, in the same order as files appear in the
                     multi-file torrent.

              path   File path.

              length File size in bytes.

              completedLength
                     Completed length of this file in bytes.  Please note  that  it  is  possible
                     that sum of completedLength is less than the completedLength returned by the
                     aria2.tellStatus()   method.    This   is   because    completedLength    in
                     aria2.getFiles()   only  includes  completed  pieces.  On  the  other  hand,
                     completedLength in  aria2.tellStatus()  also  includes  partially  completed
                     pieces.

              selected
                     true  if  this file is selected by --select-file option. If --select-file is
                     not specified or this is single-file torrent or not a  torrent  download  at
                     all, this value is always true. Otherwise false.

              uris   Returns  a  list  of URIs for this file. The element type is the same struct
                     used in the aria2.getUris() method.

       aria2.tellActive([secret][, keys])
              This  method  returns  a list of active downloads.  The response is an array of the
              same structs as returned by the aria2.tellStatus() method.  For the keys parameter,
              please refer to the aria2.tellStatus() method.

       aria2.tellWaiting([secret], offset, num[, keys])
              This  method returns a list of waiting downloads, including paused ones.  offset is
              an integer and specifies the offset from the download waiting at the front.  num is
              an integer and specifies the max. number of downloads to be returned.  For the keys
              parameter, please refer to the aria2.tellStatus() method.

              If offset is a positive integer, this method returns  downloads  in  the  range  of
              [offset, offset + num).

              offset  can be a negative integer. offset == -1 points last download in the waiting
              queue and offset == -2 points the download before the last  download,  and  so  on.
              Downloads in the response are in reversed order then.

              For  example,  imagine  three  downloads "A","B" and "C" are waiting in this order.
              aria2.tellWaiting(0, 1) returns ["A"]. aria2.tellWaiting(1, 2) returns ["B",  "C"].
              aria2.tellWaiting(-1, 2) returns ["C", "B"].

              The  response  is  an  array  of the same structs as returned by aria2.tellStatus()
              method.

       aria2.tellStopped([secret], offset, num[, keys])
              This method returns a  list  of  stopped  downloads.   offset  is  an  integer  and
              specifies  the  offset from the least recently stopped download.  num is an integer
              and specifies the max. number of downloads to be returned.  For the keys parameter,
              please refer to the aria2.tellStatus() method.

              offset  and  num  have  the  same semantics as described in the aria2.tellWaiting()
              method.

              The response is an array of the same structs as returned by the  aria2.tellStatus()
              method.

       aria2.changePosition([secret], gid, pos, how)
              This  method changes the position of the download denoted by gid in the queue.  pos
              is an integer.  how is a string. If how is POS_SET, it  moves  the  download  to  a
              position  relative  to the beginning of the queue.  If how is POS_CUR, it moves the
              download to a position relative to the current position.  If  how  is  POS_END,  it
              moves  the  download  to  a  position  relative  to  the  end  of the queue. If the
              destination position is less than 0 or beyond the end of the queue,  it  moves  the
              download  to the beginning or the end of the queue respectively. The response is an
              integer denoting the resulting position.

              For   example,   if   GID#2089b05ecca3d829   is   currently    in    position    3,
              aria2.changePosition('2089b05ecca3d829', -1, 'POS_CUR') will change its position to
              2. Additionally aria2.changePosition('2089b05ecca3d829', 0, 'POS_SET') will  change
              its position to 0 (the beginning of the queue).

              The  following  examples move the download GID#2089b05ecca3d829 to the front of the
              queue.

                 0

       aria2.changeUri([secret], gid, fileIndex, delUris, addUris[, position])
              This method removes the URIs in delUris from and appends the  URIs  in  addUris  to
              download  denoted  by gid. delUris and addUris are lists of strings. A download can
              contain multiple files and URIs are attached to each file.  fileIndex  is  used  to
              select  which  file  to remove/attach given URIs. fileIndex is 1-based. position is
              used to specify where URIs are inserted in the existing waiting URI list.  position
              is  0-based.  When  position is omitted, URIs are appended to the back of the list.
              This method first executes the removal and  then  the  addition.  position  is  the
              position after URIs are removed, not the position when this method is called.  When
              removing an URI, if the same URIs exist in download, only one of  them  is  removed
              for   each   URI   in   delUris.   In   other   words,  if  there  are  three  URIs
              http://example.org/aria2 and you want remove them all,  you  have  to  specify  (at
              least)  3  http://example.org/aria2  in  delUris.  This method returns a list which
              contains two integers. The first integer is the number of URIs deleted. The  second
              integer is the number of URIs added.

              The  following examples add the URI http://example.org/file to the file whose index
              is 1 and belongs to the download GID#2089b05ecca3d829.

       aria2.getOption([secret], gid)
              This method returns options of the download denoted by  gid.   The  response  is  a
              struct  where  keys  are  the names of options.  The values are strings.  Note that
              this method does not return options which have no default value and have  not  been
              set on the command-line, in configuration files or RPC methods.

              The following examples get options of the download GID#2089b05ecca3d829.

       aria2.changeOption([secret], gid, options)
              This  method  changes  options of the download denoted by gid (string) dynamically.
              options is a struct.  The options listed in Input File  subsection  are  available,
              except for following options:

              • dry-runmetalink-base-uriparameterized-uripausepiece-lengthrpc-save-upload-metadata

              Except  for  the  following  options, changing the other options of active download
              makes it restart (restart itself is managed by aria2, and no user  intervention  is
              required):

              • bt-max-peersbt-request-peer-speed-limitbt-remove-unselected-fileforce-savemax-download-limitmax-upload-limit

              This method returns OK for success.

              The  following  examples  set the max-download-limit option to 20K for the download
              GID#2089b05ecca3d829.

       aria2.getGlobalOption([secret])
              This method returns the global options.  The response is a struct. Its keys are the
              names  of  options.   Values  are  strings.   Note that this method does not return
              options which have no default value and have not been set on the  command-line,  in
              configuration  files  or RPC methods. Because global options are used as a template
              for the options of newly added downloads, the response contains  keys  returned  by
              the aria2.getOption() method.

       aria2.changeGlobalOption([secret], options)
              This  method  changes  global  options  dynamically.   options  is  a  struct.  The

              In addition, options listed in the Input File subsection are available, except  for
              following options: checksum, index-out, out, pause and select-file.

              With  the log option, you can dynamically start logging or change log file. To stop
              logging, specify an empty string("") as the parameter value. Note that log file  is
              always opened in append mode. This method returns OK for success.

       aria2.getGlobalStat([secret])
              This  method  returns  global  statistics  such  as the overall download and upload
              speeds. The response is a struct  and  contains  the  following  keys.  Values  are
              strings.

              downloadSpeed
                     Overall download speed (byte/sec).

              uploadSpeed
                     Overall upload speed(byte/sec).

              numActive
                     The number of active downloads.

              numWaiting
                     The number of waiting downloads.

              numStopped
                     The number of stopped downloads in the current session. This value is capped
                     by the --max-download-result option.

              numStoppedTotal
                     The number of stopped downloads in the current session and not capped by the
                     --max-download-result option.

       aria2.shutdown([secret])
              This method shuts down aria2.  This method returns OK.

       aria2.forceShutdown([secret])
              This method shuts down aria2(). This  method  behaves  like  :func:'aria2.shutdown`
              without  performing  any  actions  which  take  time, such as contacting BitTorrent
              trackers to unregister downloads first.  This method returns OK.

       aria2.saveSession([secret])
              This method saves the current session to a file  specified  by  the  --save-session
              option. This method returns OK if it succeeds.

       system.multicall(methods)
              This methods encapsulates multiple method calls in a single request.  methods is an
              array of structs.  The structs contain two keys: methodName and params.  methodName
              is  the method name to call and params is array containing parameters to the method
              call.  This method returns an array of responses.  The elements will  be  either  a
              one-item  array containing the return value of the method call or a struct of fault
              element if an encapsulated method call fails.

              In  the  following   examples,   we   add   2   downloads.   The   first   one   is
              http://example.org/file and the second one is file.torrent.

       system.listMethods()
              This method returns all the available RPC methods in an array  of  string.   Unlike
              other  methods,  this  method  does not require secret token.  This is safe because
              this method just returns the available method names.

              JSON-RPC Example

                 >>> import urllib2, json
                 >>> from pprint import pprint
                 >>> jsonreq = json.dumps({'jsonrpc':'2.0', 'id':'qwer',
                 ...                       'method':'system.listMethods'})
                 >>> c = urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost:6800/jsonrpc', jsonreq)
                 >>> pprint(json.loads(c.read()))
                 {u'id': u'qwer',
                  u'jsonrpc': u'2.0',
                  u'result': [u'aria2.addUri',
                              u'aria2.addTorrent',
                 ...

              XML-RPC Example

                 >>> import xmlrpclib
                 >>> s = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:6800/rpc')
                 >>> s.system.listMethods()
                 ['aria2.addUri', 'aria2.addTorrent', ...

       system.listNotifications()
              This method returns all the available RPC notifications  in  an  array  of  string.
              Unlike  other  methods,  this  method  does not require secret token.  This is safe
              because this method just returns the available notifications names.

              JSON-RPC Example

                 >>> import urllib2, json
                 >>> from pprint import pprint
                 >>> jsonreq = json.dumps({'jsonrpc':'2.0', 'id':'qwer',
                 ...                       'method':'system.listNotifications'})
                 >>> c = urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost:6800/jsonrpc', jsonreq)
                 >>> pprint(json.loads(c.read()))
                 {u'id': u'qwer',
                  u'jsonrpc': u'2.0',
                  u'result': [u'aria2.onDownloadStart',
                              u'aria2.onDownloadPause',
                 ...

              XML-RPC Example

                 >>> import xmlrpclib
                 >>> s = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:6800/rpc')
                 >>> s.system.listNotifications()
                 ['aria2.onDownloadStart', 'aria2.onDownloadPause', ...

   Error Handling
       Over JSON-RPC, aria2 returns a JSON object which contains an error code in  code  and  the
       error message in message.

       Over XML-RPC, aria2 returns faultCode=1 and the error message in faultString.

   Options
       The  same  options  as for --input-file are available. See the Input File subsection for a
       complete list of options.

       In the option struct, the name element is the option name (without the preceding  --)  and
       the value element is the argument as a string.

   JSON-RPC Example
          {'split':'1', 'http-proxy':'http://proxy/'}

   XML-RPC Example
          <struct>
            <member>
              <name>split</name>
              <value><string>1</string></value>
            </member>
            <member>
              <name>http-proxy</name>
              <value><string>http://proxy/</string></value>
            </member>
          </struct>

       The header and index-out options are allowed multiple times on the command-line. Since the
       name should be unique in a struct (many XML-RPC library implementations use a hash or dict
       for  struct),  a  single string is not enough. To overcome this limitation, you may use an
       array as the value as well as a string.

   JSON-RPC Example
          {'header':['Accept-Language: ja', 'Accept-Charset: utf-8']}

   XML-RPC Example
          <struct>
            <member>
              <name>header</name>
              <value>
                <array>
                  <data>
                    <value><string>Accept-Language: ja</string></value>
                    <value><string>Accept-Charset: utf-8</string></value>
                  </data>
                </array>
              </value>
            </member>
          </struct>

       The following example adds a download with two options: dir and header.  The header option
       requires two values, so it uses a list:

          >>> import xmlrpclib
          >>> s = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:6800/rpc')
          >>> opts = dict(dir='/tmp',
          ...             header=['Accept-Language: ja',
          ...                     'Accept-Charset: utf-8'])
          >>> s.aria2.addUri(['http://example.org/file'], opts)
          '1'

   JSON-RPC using HTTP GET
       The  JSON-RPC  interface  also supports requests via HTTP GET.  The encoding scheme in GET
       parameters is based on JSON-RPC over HTTP Specification [2008-1-15(RC1)].  The encoding of
       GET parameters are follows:

          /jsonrpc?method=METHOD_NAME&id=ID&params=BASE64_ENCODED_PARAMS

       The method and id are always treated as JSON string and their encoding must be UTF-8.

       For  example,  The  encoded  string  of aria2.tellStatus('2089b05ecca3d829') with id='foo'
       looks like this:

          /jsonrpc?method=aria2.tellStatus&id=foo&params=WyIyMDg5YjA1ZWNjYTNkODI5Il0%3D

       The params parameter  is  Base64-encoded  JSON  array  which  usually  appears  in  params
       attribute   in   JSON-RPC   request   object.    In  the  above  example,  the  params  is
       ["2089b05ecca3d829"], therefore:

          ["2089b05ecca3d829"] --(Base64)--> WyIyMDg5YjA1ZWNjYTNkODI5Il0=
                       --(Percent Encode)--> WyIyMDg5YjA1ZWNjYTNkODI5Il0%3D

       The JSON-RPC interface also supports JSONP. You can specify the callback function  in  the
       jsoncallback parameter:

          /jsonrpc?method=aria2.tellStatus&id=foo&params=WyIyMDg5YjA1ZWNjYTNkODI5Il0%3D&jsoncallback=cb

       For Batch requests, the method and id parameters must not be specified.  The whole request
       must be specified in the params parameter. For example, a Batch request:

          [{'jsonrpc':'2.0', 'id':'qwer', 'method':'aria2.getVersion'},
           {'jsonrpc':'2.0', 'id':'asdf', 'method':'aria2.tellActive'}]

       must be encoded like this:

          /jsonrpc?params=W3sianNvbnJwYyI6ICIyLjAiLCAiaWQiOiAicXdlciIsICJtZXRob2QiOiAiYXJpYTIuZ2V0VmVyc2lvbiJ9LCB7Impzb25ycGMiOiAiMi4wIiwgImlkIjogImFzZGYiLCAibWV0aG9kIjogImFyaWEyLnRlbGxBY3RpdmUifV0%3D

   JSON-RPC over WebSocket
       JSON-RPC over WebSocket uses same method signatures and response format as  JSON-RPC  over
       HTTP. The supported WebSocket version is 13 which is detailed in RFC 6455.

       To  send  a  RPC request to the RPC server, send a serialized JSON string in a Text frame.
       The response from the RPC server is delivered also in a Text frame.

   Notifications
       The RPC server might send notifications to the client.  Notifications  is  unidirectional,
       therefore  the  client  which receives the notification must not respond to it. The method
       signature of a notification is much like a normal method request but lacks the id key. The
       value  of  the  params  key is the data which this notification carries. The format of the
       value varies depending on the notification  method.  Following  notification  methods  are
       defined.

       aria2.onDownloadStart(event)
              This  notification  will  be sent when a download is started.  The event is of type
              struct and it contains following keys.  The value type is string.

              gid    GID of the download.

       aria2.onDownloadPause(event)
              This notification will be sent when a download is paused.  The event  is  the  same
              struct as the event argument of aria2.onDownloadStart() method.

       aria2.onDownloadStop(event)
              This  notification  will be sent when a download is stopped by the user.  The event
              is the same struct as the event argument of aria2.onDownloadStart() method.

       aria2.onDownloadComplete(event)
              This notification will be  sent  when  a  download  is  complete.   For  BitTorrent
              downloads,  this  notification is sent when the download is complete and seeding is
              over. The event is the same struct of the event argument of aria2.onDownloadStart()
              method.

       aria2.onDownloadError(event)
              This  notification  will  be  sent when a download is stopped due to an error.  The
              event is the same struct as the event argument of aria2.onDownloadStart() method.

       aria2.onBtDownloadComplete(event)
              This notification will be sent when a torrent download is complete but  seeding  is
              still  going  on.   The  event  is  the  same  struct  as  the  event  argument  of
              aria2.onDownloadStart() method.

   Sample XML-RPC Client Code
       The following Ruby  script  adds  http://localhost/aria2.tar.bz2  to  aria2c  (running  on
       localhost) with option --dir=/downloads and prints the RPC response:

          #!/usr/bin/env ruby

          require 'xmlrpc/client'
          require 'pp'

          client=XMLRPC::Client.new2("http://localhost:6800/rpc")

          options={ "dir" => "/downloads" }
          result=client.call("aria2.addUri", [ "http://localhost/aria2.tar.bz2" ], options)

          pp result

       If  you  are a Python lover, you can use xmlrpclib (Python3 uses xmlrpc.client instead) to
       interact with aria2:

          import xmlrpclib
          from pprint import pprint

          s = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://localhost:6800/rpc")
          r = s.aria2.addUri(["http://localhost/aria2.tar.bz2"], {"dir":"/downloads"})
          pprint(r)

MISC

   Console Readout
       While downloading files, aria2 prints a readout to the console to show the progress of the
       downloads. The console readout looks like this:

          [#2089b0 400.0KiB/33.2MiB(1%) CN:1 DL:115.7KiB ETA:4m51s]

       This section describes what these numbers and strings mean.

       #NNNNNN
              The first 6 characters of the GID as a hex string. The GID is an unique ID for each
              download, internal to aria2. The GID is particularly useful when  interacting  with
              aria2 using the RPC interface.

       X/Y(Z%)
              Completed length, the total file length and its progress. If --select-file is used,
              this is the sum of selected files.

       SEED   Share ratio when the aria2 is seeding a finished torrent.

       CN     The number of connections aria2 has established.

       SD     The number of seeders aria2 is connected to.

       DL     Download speed (bytes per second).

       UL     Upload speed (bytes per second) and the number of uploaded bytes.

       ETA    Expected time to finish the download.

       When more than one download is in progress, some of the information described  above  will
       be  omitted  in  order to show information for several downloads. And the overall download
       and upload speeds are shown at the beginning of the line.

       When aria2 is allocating file space or validating checksums, it  additionally  prints  the
       progress of these operations:

       FileAlloc
              GID, already allocated length and total length in bytes.

       Checksum
              GID, already validated length and total length in bytes.

EXAMPLE

   HTTP/FTP Segmented Downloads
   Download a file
          $ aria2c "http://host/file.zip"

       NOTE:
          To  stop  a  download, press Ctrl-C. You can resume the transfer by running aria2c with
          the same argument in the same directory. You can  change  URIs  as  long  as  they  are
          pointing to the same file.

   Download a file from two different HTTP servers
          $ aria2c "http://host/file.zip" "http://mirror/file.zip"

   Download a file from one host using multiple connections
          $ aria2c -x2 -k1M "http://host/file.zip"

       NOTE:
          The  -x  option  specified  the  number  of  allowed  connections,  while the -k option
          specified the size of chunks.

   Download a file from HTTP and FTP servers at the same time
          $ aria2c "http://host1/file.zip" "ftp://host2/file.zip"

   Download files listed in a text file concurrently
          $ aria2c -ifiles.txt -j2

       NOTE:
          -j option specifies the number of parallel downloads.

   Using a proxy
       For HTTP:

          $ aria2c --http-proxy="http://proxy:8080" "http://host/file"

          $ aria2c --http-proxy="http://proxy:8080" --no-proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0/16" "http://host/file"

       For FTP:

          $ aria2c --ftp-proxy="http://proxy:8080" "ftp://host/file"

       NOTE:
          See --http-proxy, --https-proxy, --ftp-proxy, --all-proxy and --no-proxy  for  details.
          You can specify proxy in the environment variables. See ENVIRONMENT section.

   Using a Proxy with authorization
          $ aria2c --http-proxy="http://username:password@proxy:8080" "http://host/file"

          $ aria2c --http-proxy="http://proxy:8080" --http-proxy-user="username" --http-proxy-passwd="password" "http://host/file"

   Metalink Download
   Download files with remote Metalink
          $ aria2c --follow-metalink=mem "http://host/file.metalink"

   Download using a local metalink file
          $ aria2c -p --lowest-speed-limit=4000 file.metalink

       NOTE:
          To  stop  a download, press Ctrl-C.  You can resume the transfer by running aria2c with
          the same argument in the same directory.

   Download several local metalink files
          $ aria2c -j2 file1.metalink file2.metalink

   Download only selected files
          $ aria2c --select-file=1-4,8 file.metalink

       NOTE:
          The index is printed to the console using -S option.

   Download a file using a local metalink file with user preference
          $ aria2c --metalink-location=jp,us --metalink-version=1.1 --metalink-language=en-US file.metalink

   BitTorrent Download
   Download files using a remote BitTorrent file
          $ aria2c --follow-torrent=mem "http://host/file.torrent"

   Download using a local torrent file
          $ aria2c --max-upload-limit=40K file.torrent

       NOTE:
          --max-upload-limit specifies the max of upload rate.

       NOTE:
          To stop a download, press Ctrl-C. You can resume the transfer later by  running  aria2c
          with the same argument in the same directory.

   Download using BitTorrent Magnet URI
          $ aria2c "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:248D0A1CD08284299DE78D5C1ED359BB46717D8C&dn=aria2"

       NOTE:
          Don't  forget to quote BitTorrent Magnet URIs which include & characters with single(')
          or double(") quotes when specifying URIs on the command-line.

   Download 2 torrents
          $ aria2c -j2 file1.torrent file2.torrent

   Download a file via torrent and HTTP/FTP server in parallel
          $ aria2c -Ttest.torrent "http://host1/file" "ftp://host2/file"

   Only download specific files (usually called selected download )
          $ aria2c --select-file=1-4,8 file.torrent

       NOTE:
          The index is printed to the console using -S option.

   Download a .torrent file, but do not download the torrent
          $ aria2c --follow-torrent=false "http://host/file.torrent"

   Specify the output file name
       To specify the output file name for BitTorrent downloads, you need to know  the  index  of
       file in the torrent (see --show-files). For example, the output looks like this:

          idx|path/length
          ===+======================
            1|dist/base-2.6.18.iso
             |99.9MiB
          ---+----------------------
            2|dist/driver-2.6.18.iso
             |169.0MiB
          ---+----------------------

       To  save  'dist/base-2.6.18.iso'  in '/tmp/mydir/base.iso' and 'dist/driver-2.6.18.iso' in
       '/tmp/dir/driver.iso', use the following command:

          $ aria2c --dir=/tmp --index-out=1=mydir/base.iso --index-out=2=dir/driver.iso file.torrent

   Change the listening ports for incoming peer connections
          $ aria2c --listen-port=7000-7001,8000 file.torrent

       NOTE:
          Since aria2 doesn't configure firewalls or routers for port forwarding, it's up to  you
          to do so manually.

   Specify conditions to stop seeding after torrent downloads finish
          $ aria2c --seed-time=120 --seed-ratio=1.0 file.torrent

       NOTE:
          In  the  above  example,  the  program  stops  seeding after 120 minutes since download
          completed or seed ratio reaches 1.0.

   Throttle upload speed
          $ aria2c --max-upload-limit=100K file.torrent

   Enable IPv4 DHT
          $ aria2c --enable-dht --dht-listen-port=6881 file.torrent

       NOTE:
          DHT uses UDP. Since aria2 doesn't configure firewalls or routers for  port  forwarding,
          it's up to you to do it manually.

   Enable IPv6 DHT
          $ aria2c --enable-dht6 --dht-listen-port=6881 --dht-listen-addr6=YOUR_GLOBAL_UNICAST_IPV6_ADDR

       NOTE:
          aria2 uses the same ports as IPv4 for IPv6.

   Add and remove tracker URIs
       Ignore  all tracker announce URIs defined in file.torrent and use http://tracker1/announce
       and http://tracker2/announce instead:

          $ aria2c --bt-exclude-tracker="*" --bt-tracker="http://tracker1/announce,http://tracker2/announce" file.torrent

   More advanced HTTP features
   Load cookies
          $ aria2c --load-cookies=cookies.txt "http://host/file.zip"

       NOTE:
          You can use Firefox/Mozilla/Chromium's cookie files without modification.

   Resume download started by web browsers or other programs
          $ aria2c -c -s2 "http://host/partiallydownloadedfile.zip"

       NOTE:
          This will only work when the initial download was not multi-segmented.

   Client certificate authorization for SSL/TLS
       Specify a PKCS12 file as follows:

          $ aria2c --certificate=/path/to/mycert.p12

       NOTE:
          The file specified in --certificate must be contain one PKCS12 encoded certificate  and
          key. The password must be blank.

       Alternatively, if PEM files are supported, use a command like the following:

          $ aria2c --certificate=/path/to/mycert.pem --private-key=/path/to/mykey.pem https://host/file

       NOTE:
          The  file specified in --private-key must be decrypted. The behavior when encrypted one
          is given is undefined.

   Verify SSL/TLS servers using given CA certificates
          $ aria2c --ca-certificate=/path/to/ca-certificates.crt --check-certificate https://host/file

       NOTE:
          This option is only available when  aria2  was  compiled  against  GnuTLS  or  OpenSSL.
          WinTLS  and  AppleTLS  will  always  use  the  system  certificate  store.  Instead  of
          `--ca-certificate install the certificate in that store.

   RPC
   Encrypt RPC traffic with SSL/TLS
       Specify a server PKC12 file:

          $ aria2c --enable-rpc --rpc-certificate=/path/to/server.p12 --rpc-secure

       NOTE:
          The file specified in --rpc-certificate must be contain one PKCS12 encoded  certificate
          and key. The password must be blank.

       Alternatively,  when  PEM  files  are  supported  (GnuTLS and OpenSSL), specify the server
       certificate file and private key file as follows:

          $ aria2c --enable-rpc --rpc-certificate=/path/to/server.crt --rpc-private-key=/path/to/server.key --rpc-secure

   And more advanced features
   Throttle the download speed
       Per-download:

          $ aria2c --max-download-limit=100K file.metalink

       Overall:

          $ aria2c --max-overall-download-limit=100K file.metalink

   Repair a damaged download
          $ aria2c -V file.metalink

       NOTE:
          Repairing damaged downloads can be  done  efficiently  when  used  with  BitTorrent  or
          Metalink with chunk checksums.

   Drop connections if download speed is lower than a specified limit
          $ aria2c --lowest-speed-limit=10K file.metalink

   Parameterized URI support
       You can specify set of parts:

          $ aria2c -P "http://{host1,host2,host3}/file.iso"

       You can specify numeric sequence:

          $ aria2c -Z -P "http://host/image[000-100].png"

       NOTE:
          The  -Z  option  is  required  if the URIs don't point to the same file, such as in the
          above example.

       You can specify step counter:

          $ aria2c -Z -P "http://host/image[A-Z:2].png"

   Verifying checksums
          $ aria2c --checksum=sha-1=0192ba11326fe2298c8cb4de616f4d4140213837 http://example.org/file

   Parallel downloads of an arbitrary number of URIs, metalink, torrent
          $ aria2c -j3 -Z "http://host/file1" file2.torrent file3.metalink

   BitTorrent Encryption
       Encrypt the whole payload using ARC4 (obfuscation):

          $ aria2c --bt-min-crypto-level=arc4 --bt-require-crypto=true file.torrent
