Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa d791807add 2008-06-29 Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa <tujikawa at rednoah dot com>
Added gzip, deflate decoding support in HTTP using libz. If 
compiled
	with this feature, aria2 sends "Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip" 
header
	to a HTTP server. If a server returns "Content-Encoding: gzip" 
or
	"Content-Encoding: deflate" then, aria2 decodes the response 
body on the
	fly and writes decoded data to a local disk.
	* README
	* README.html
	* configure.ac
	* m4/aria2_arg.m4: Added ARIA2_ARG_WITH and ARIA2_ARG_ENABLE, 
they are
	wrapper function for AC_ARG_WITH and AC_ARG_ENABLE respectively.

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="para"><p>aria2 is a utility for downloading files. The supported protocols are HTTP(S), FTP, BitTorrent, and Metalink. It has a powerful segmented downloading ability, downloading a file from multiple sources and multiple protocols and utilizing your download bandwidth to the maximum. 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.</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>Here is a list of features.</p></div>
<div class="ilist"><ul>
<li>

<div class="sectionbody">
<h3 id="_about_filename">5.1. About filename</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
<div class="para"><p>The filename of the downloaded file is determined as follows:</p></div>
<div class="vlist"><dl>
<dt>
single-file mode
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
If "name" key is present in .torrent file, filename is the value of "name"
key. Otherwise, filename is the basename of .torrent file appended by
".file". For example, .torrent file is "test.torrrent", then filename is
"test.torrent.file".
The directory to store the downloaded file can be specified by -d option.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
multi-file mode
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
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.
</p>
</dd>
</dl></div>
<div class="para"><p>In the default behavior, before download starts, complete directory structure
is created if needed. Then aria2 opens all files mentioned in .torrent file,
directly writes to and reads from these files.
NOTE: Even in selective download, all files are opened.</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>If "&#8212;direct-file-mapping" option set to be false, aria2 creates temporary
file in the store directory. The length of this file is the sum of length of
the files in .torrent file, so at least 2 times more disk space than the file
size itself is required. Writing and reading is done against this file.
After download completes, aria2 creates complete directory structure if needed,
and copies whole file or a part of it to the destination.</p></div>
<h3 id="_dht">5.2. DHT</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
<div class="para"><p>As of release 0.13.0, aria2 supports DHT. The routing table is saved to $HOME/.aria2/dht.dat.</p></div>
<div class="vlist"><dl>
<dt>
Note
</dt>
<dd>
<div class="ilist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
-o option is used to change the filename of .torrent file itself, not a filename of a file in .torrent file.

</li>
<li>
<p>
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 download
rate is low.

The other P2P protocols are ignored.</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>For checksum checking, MD5, SHA1, SHA256 are supported. If multiple hash
algorithms are provided, aria2 uses SHA1. If checksum checking is failed, aria2
doesn't retry the download and just exits with non-zero return code.</p></div>
