man aget (Commandes) - A multithreaded HTTP download accelerator

NAME

aget - A multithreaded HTTP download accelerator

SYNOPSIS

aget [options] file ...

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the aget commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

aget fetches HTTP URLs in a manner similar to wget, but segments the retrieval into multiple parts to increase download speed. It can be many times as fast as wget in some circumstances.

It is the starting point for a project attempting to replicate the functionality of a MS Windows program called Flashget.

OPTIONS

-p
port number
-l
local file name
-h
Show summary of options.
-v
Show version of program.
-n
Suggested number of threads
-f
force using suggested number of threads
