   4 If dealing with @ref{Git}, @ref{Feeds, web feeds} and @ref{Multimedia,
   5 multimedia} goes relatively fast, then BitTorrent and huge files
   6 consumes much time. You can not wait for downloads finish, but want to
   7 queue them after.
   8
   9 @url{http://aria2.github.io/, aria2} multi-protocol download utility
  10 could be used for solving that issue conveniently. It supports HTTP,
  11 HTTPS, FTP, SFTP and BitTorrent protocols, together with
  12 @url{http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5854, Metalink} format. BitTorrent
  13 support is fully-featured: UDP trackers, DHT, PEX, encryption, magnet
  14 URIs, Web-seeding, selective downloads, LPD. @command{aria2} can
  15 accelerate HTTP*/*FTP downloads by segmented multiple parallel
  16 connections.
  17
  18 You can queue you files after they are completely downloaded.
  19 @file{aria2-downloaded.sh} contents:
  20
  21 @verbatiminclude aria2-downloaded.sh
  22
  23 Also you can prepare
  24 @url{http://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html#files, input file}
  25 with the jobs you want to download:
  26
  27 @example
  28 $ cat jobs
  29 http://www.nncpgo.org/download/nncp-0.11.tar.xz
  30     out=nncp.txz
  31 http://www.nncpgo.org/download/nncp-0.11.tar.xz.sig
  32     out=nncp.txz.sig
  33 $ aria2c \
  34     --on-download-complete aria2-downloaded.sh \
  35     --input-file jobs
  36 @end example
  37
  38 and all that downloaded (@file{nncp.txz}, @file{nncp.txz.sig}) files
  39 will be sent to @file{remote.node} when finished.
