aria2 - The ultra fast download utility
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's chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of data while downloading a file like BitTorrent.
The project page is located at https://aria2.github.io/.
See the aria2 Online Manual (Russian translation, Portuguese translation) to learn how to use aria2.

We use 3 numbers for the aria2 version: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. We will ship MINOR updates on the 15th of every month. We may skip a release if we have had no changes since the last release. The feature and documentation freeze happens 10 days before the release day (the 5th day of the month) for translation teams. We will raise an issue about the upcoming release around that day.
We may release PATCH releases between regular releases if we have security issues.
The MAJOR version will stay at 1 for the time being.
We maintain the source code at Github: https://github.com/aria2/aria2
To get the latest source code, run the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/aria2/aria2This will create an aria2 directory in your current directory and source files are stored there.
| features | dependency |
|---|---|
| HTTPS | OSX or GnuTLS or OpenSSL or Windows |
| SFTP | libssh2 |
BitTorrent | None. Optional: libnettle+libgmp or libgcrypt or OpenSSL (see note) |
| Metalink | libxml2 or Expat. |
Checksum | None. Optional: OSX or libnettle or libgcrypt or OpenSSL or Windows (see note) |
| gzip, deflate in HTTP | zlib |
| Async DNS | C-Ares |
| Firefox3/Chromium cookie | libsqlite3 |
| XML-RPC | libxml2 or Expat. |
| JSON-RPC over WebSocket | libnettle or libgcrypt or OpenSSL |
Note
libxml2 has precedence over Expat if both libraries are installed. If you prefer Expat, run configure with --without-libxml2.
Note
On Apple OSX, OS-level SSL/TLS support will be preferred. Hence neither GnuTLS nor OpenSSL is required on that platform. If you'd like to disable this behavior, run configure with --without-appletls.
GnuTLS has precedence over OpenSSL if both libraries are installed. If you prefer OpenSSL, run configure with --without-gnutls --with-openssl.
On Windows, there is SSL implementation available that is based on the native Windows SSL capabilities (Schannel) and it will be preferred. Hence neither GnuTLS nor OpenSSL is required on that platform. If you'd like to disable this behavior, run configure with --without-wintls.
Note
On Apple OSX, the OS-level checksum support will be preferred, unless aria2 is configured with --without-appletls.
libnettle has precedence over libgcrypt if both libraries are installed. If you prefer libgcrypt, run configure with --without-libnettle --with-libgcrypt. If OpenSSL is selected over GnuTLS, neither libnettle nor libgcrypt will be used.
If none of the optional dependencies are installed, an internal implementation that only supports md5 and sha1 will be used.
On Windows, there is SSL implementation available that is based on the native Windows capabilities and it will be preferred, unless aria2 is configured with --without-wintls.
A user can have one of the following configurations for SSL and crypto libraries:
- OpenSSL
- GnuTLS + libgcrypt
- GnuTLS + libnettle
- Apple TLS (OSX only)
- Windows TLS (Windows only)
You can disable BitTorrent and Metalink support by providing --disable-bittorrent and --disable-metalink to the configure script respectively.
To enable async DNS support, you need c-ares.
- c-ares: http://c-ares.haxx.se/
aria2 is primarily written in C++. Initially, it was written based on C++98/C++03 standard features. We are now migrating aria2 to the C++11 standard. The current source code requires a C++11 aware compiler. For well-known compilers, such as g++ and clang, the -std=c++11 or -std=c++0x flag must be supported.
To build aria2 from the source package, you need the following development packages (package name may vary depending on the distribution you use):
- libgnutls-dev (Required for HTTPS, BitTorrent, Checksum support)
- nettle-dev (Required for BitTorrent, Checksum support)
- libgmp-dev (Required for BitTorrent)
- libssh2-1-dev (Required for SFTP support)
- libc-ares-dev (Required for async DNS support)
- libxml2-dev (Required for Metalink support)
- zlib1g-dev (Required for gzip, deflate decoding support in HTTP)
- libsqlite3-dev (Required for Firefox3/Chromium cookie support)
- pkg-config (Required to detect installed libraries)
You can use libgcrypt-dev instead of nettle-dev and libgmp-dev:
- libgpg-error-dev (Required for BitTorrent, Checksum support)
- libgcrypt-dev (Required for BitTorrent, Checksum support)
You can use libssl-dev instead of libgnutls-dev, nettle-dev, libgmp-dev, libgpg-error-dev and libgcrypt-dev:
- libssl-dev (Required for HTTPS, BitTorrent, Checksum support)
You can use libexpat1-dev instead of libxml2-dev:
- libexpat1-dev (Required for Metalink support)
On Fedora you need the following packages: gcc, gcc-c++, kernel-devel, libgcrypt-devel, libxml2-devel, openssl-devel, gettext-devel, cppunit
If you downloaded source code from a git repository, you have to install the following packages to get autoconf macros:
- libxml2-dev
- libcppunit-dev
- autoconf
- automake
- autotools-dev
- autopoint
- libtool
And run the following command to generate configure script and other files necessary to build the program:
$ autoreconf -iAlso, you need Sphinx to build the man page.
If you are building aria2 for Mac OS X, take a look at the makerelease-osx.mk GNU Make makefile.
The quickest way to build aria2 is first to run configure script:
$ ./configureTo build statically linked aria2, use ARIA2_STATIC=yes command-line option:
$ ./configure ARIA2_STATIC=yesAfter configuration is done, run make to compile the program:
$ makeSee Cross-compiling Windows binary to create a Windows binary. See Cross-compiling Android binary to create an Android binary.
The configure script checks available libraries and enables as many features as possible except for experimental features not enabled by default.
Since 1.1.0, aria2 checks the certificate of HTTPS servers by default. 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. If it is not the case, I recommend supplying the path to the CA bundle file. For example, in Debian the path to CA bundle file is '/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt' (in ca-certificates package). This may vary depending on your distribution. You can give it to configure script using --with-ca-bundle option:
$ ./configure --with-ca-bundle='/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt'
$ makeWithout --with-ca-bundle option, you will encounter the error when accessing HTTPS servers because the certificate cannot be verified without the CA bundle. In such a case, you can specify the CA bundle file using aria2's --ca-certificate option. If you don't have the CA bundle file installed, then the last resort is to disable the certificate validation using --check-certificate=false.
Using the native OSX (AppleTLS) and/or Windows (WinTLS) implementation will automatically use the system certificate store, so --with-ca-bundle is not necessary and will be ignored when using these implementations.
By default, the bash_completion file named aria2c is installed to the directory $prefix/share/doc/aria2/bash_completion. To change the install directory of the file, use --with-bashcompletiondir option.
After a make, the executable is located at src/aria2c.
aria2 uses CppUnit for automated unit testing. To run the unit test:
$ make checkIn this section, we describe how to build a Windows binary using a mingw-w64 (http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php) cross-compiler on Debian Linux. The MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/) may not be able to build aria2.
The easiest way to build Windows binary is using Dockerfile.mingw. See Dockerfile.mingw how to build a binary. If you cannot use Dockerfile, then continue to read the following paragraphs.
Basically, after compiling and installing depended libraries, you can do cross-compile just passing appropriate --host option and specifying CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR variables to configure. For convenience and to lower our own development cost, we provide an easier way to configure the build settings.
mingw-config script is a configure script wrapper for mingw-w64. We use it to create official Windows build. This script assumes the following libraries have been built for cross-compile:
- c-ares
- expat
- sqlite3
- zlib
- libssh2
- cppunit
Some environment variables can be adjusted to change build settings:
HOSTcross-compile to build programs to run on
HOST. It defaults toi686-w64-mingw32. To build a 64bit binary, specifyx86_64-w64-mingw32.PREFIXPrefix to the directory where dependent libraries are installed. It defaults to
/usr/local/$HOST.-I$PREFIX/includewill be added toCPPFLAGS.-L$PREFIX/libwill be added toLDFLAGS.$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfigwill be set toPKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR.
For example, to build a 64bit binary do this:
$ HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 ./mingw-configIf you want libaria2 dll with --enable-libaria2, then don't use ARIA2_STATIC=yes and prepare the DLL version of external libraries.
In this section, we describe how to build Android binary using Android NDK cross-compiler on Debian Linux.
At the time of this writing, Android NDK r21e should compile aria2 without errors.
android-config script is a configure script wrapper for Android build. We use it to create an official Android build. This script assumes the following libraries have been built for cross-compile:
- c-ares
- openssl
- expat
- zlib
- libssh2
When building the above libraries, make sure that disable shared library and enable only static library. We are going to link those libraries statically.
android-config assumes that $ANDROID_HOME and $NDK environment variables are defined.
We currently use Android NDK r21e. $NDK should point to the directory to Android NDK. The build tools will be found under $NDK/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/.
All the dependent libraries must be installed under $ANDROID_HOME/usr/local.
After android-config, run make to compile sources.
Sphinx is used to building the documentation. aria2 man pages will be build when you run make if they are not up-to-date. You can also build an HTML version of the aria2 man page by make html. The HTML version manual is also available online (Russian translation, Portuguese translation).
The file name of the downloaded file is determined as follows:
- single-file mode
If "name" key is present in .torrent file, the file name is the value of "name" key. Otherwise, the file name is the base name of .torrent file appended by ".file". For example, .torrent file is "test.torrent", then file name is "test.torrent.file". The directory to store the downloaded file can be specified by -d option.
- multi-file mode
The complete directory/file structure mentioned in .torrent file is created. The directory to store the top directory of downloaded files can be specified by -d option.
Before download starts, a complete directory structure is created if needed. By default, aria2 opens at most 100 files mentioned in .torrent file, and directly writes to and reads from these files. The number of files to open simultaneously can be controlled by --bt-max-open-files option.
aria2 supports mainline compatible DHT. By default, the routing table for IPv4 DHT is saved to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/aria2/dht.dat and the routing table for IPv6 DHT is saved to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/aria2/dht6.dat unless files exist at $HOME/.aria2/dht.dat or $HOME/.aria2/dht6.dat. aria2 uses the same port number to listen on for both IPv4 and IPv6 DHT.
UDP tracker support is enabled when IPv4 DHT is enabled. The port number of the UDP tracker is shared with DHT. Use --dht-listen-port option to change the port number.
-ooption is used to change the file name of .torrent file itself, not a file name of a file in .torrent file. For this purpose, use--index-outoption instead.- The port numbers that aria2 uses by default are 6881-6999 for TCP and UDP.
- aria2 doesn't configure port-forwarding automatically. Please configure your router or firewall manually.
- The maximum number of peers is 55. This limit may be exceeded when the download rate is low. This download rate can be adjusted using
--bt-request-peer-speed-limitoption. - As of release 0.10.0, aria2 stops sending request messages after selective download completes.
The current implementation supports HTTP(S)/FTP/SFTP/BitTorrent. The other P2P protocols are ignored. Both Metalink4 (RFC 5854) and Metalink version 3.0 documents are supported.
For checksum verification, md5, sha-1, sha-224, sha-256, sha-384, and sha-512 are supported. If multiple hash algorithms are provided, aria2 uses a stronger one. If whole file checksum verification fails, aria2 doesn't retry the download and just exits with a non-zero return code.
The supported user preferences are version, language, location, protocol, and os.
If chunk checksums are provided in the Metalink file, aria2 automatically validates chunks of data during download. This behavior can be turned off by a command-line option.
If a signature is included in a Metalink file, aria2 saves it as a file after the completion of the download. The file name is download file name + ".sig". If the same file already exists, the signature file is not saved.
In Metalink4, a multi-file torrent could appear in metalink:metaurl element. Since aria2 cannot download 2 same torrents at the same time, aria2 groups files in metalink:file element which has the same BitTorrent metaurl, and downloads them from a single BitTorrent swarm. This is a basically multi-file torrent download with file selection, so the adjacent files which are not in Metalink document but share the same piece with the selected file are also created.
If relative URI is specified in metalink:url or metalink:metaurl element, aria2 uses the URI of Metalink file as base URI to resolve the relative URI. If relative URI is found in the Metalink file which is read from the local disk, aria2 uses the value of --metalink-base-uri option as base URI. If this option is not specified, the relative URI will be ignored.
The current implementation only uses rel=duplicate links. aria2 understands Digest header fields and check whether it matches the digest value from other sources. If it differs, drop the connection. aria2 also uses this digest value to perform checksum verification after the download is finished. aria2 recognizes geo value. To tell aria2 which location you prefer, you can use --metalink-location option.
netrc support is enabled by default for HTTP(S)/FTP/SFTP. To disable netrc support, specify -n command-line option. Your .netrc file should have correct permissions(600).
The WebSocket server embedded in aria2 implements the specification defined in RFC 6455. The supported protocol version is 13.
The libaria2 is a C++ library that offers aria2 functionality to the client code. Currently, libaria2 is not built by default. To enable libaria2, use --enable-libaria2 configure option. By default, only the shared library is built. To build a static library, use --enable-static configure option as well. See libaria2 documentation to know how to use API.

使用Aria2离线下载
Aria2是一个开源的下载工具，可用于macos/linux/windows平台，你可以使用它在上述系统中命令行界面上作为下载工具，也可以配合图形工具作为离线下载工具。
Aria2是开源的软件，所以各种平台都有相应的版本，软件官网：https://aria2.github.io/
通用安装方式：
macOS:
brew install aria2Debian/Ubuntu
apt install aria2Windows 下载页面：
https://github.com/aria2/aria2/releases/latest
根据你自己的系统选择win-32bit或者win-64bit即可。
Windows使用步骤：
先解压aria2c.exe到Windows目录，解压到其他目录也是可以的，放在Windows目录的好处是你可以随时运行cmd，在cmd里面直接执行“aria2c 下载网址”来进行文件下载。
下面是配置范例（文件名aria2.conf，请修改对应目录路径，范例是linux的路径）：
可以根据自己需要自行修改，里面有些文件是需要自己新建的，用记事本新建一个空白的文件就可以了，不需要可注释掉。
测试配置是否正确：
运行cmd，执行
C:\Windows\aria2c.exe —conf-path=D:\Downlo~1\Aria2\aria2.conf然后就可以测试使用rpc通信来实现远程离线下载，推荐一个目前我觉得挺好的图形界面，AriaNG，支持macOS和Windows。
下载地址：
https://github.com/mayswind/AriaNg-Native/releases/latest
软件可管理多个远程下载，只需要设置好RPC参数即可。
如果有出现错误提示，按提示修改即可，如果系统有使用防火墙，记得把aria2c.exe加入防火墙例外名单。
上面这些测试都完成，现在需要解决aria2启动问题，每次如果都要开cmd然后输入命令的话很不方便，而且还要长期开着一个窗口也不美观。解决方法如下：
新建一个runaria2.vbs，放到开始菜单的启动文件夹中，让它开机自动运行，vbs文件内容如下：
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "C:\Windows\aria2c.exe —conf-path=D:\Downlo~1\Aria2\aria2.conf",0这样就完成了所有配置了。
如果不想使用电脑端管理的话，也可以用手机的app来管理下载任务，使用app你可以从手机直接操作电脑远程离线下载，对应的app可以在应用商店上都可以找到。
