aria2 is a lightweight multi-protocol & multi-source command-line download utility. It supports

  • HTTP/HTTPS,
  • 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 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.
