aria2
aria2 is a utility for downloading files.
aria2 can download a file from multiple sources/protocols and
tries
to use the maximum download bandwidth. It supports downloading a file
from HTTP(S)/FTP and BitTorrent at the same time, while the data
downloaded from HTTP(S)/FTP is uploaded to the BitTorrent swarm.
Using Metalink's chunk checksums, aria2 automatically
validates chunks of
data while downloading a file like BitTorrent.
