Aria2 Project- Lightweight multi-protocol download utility

There are many download accelerators available out there for windows (Free Download Manager, Download Accelerator) that help in managing bulky downloads.

Wget, no doubt is one of the most widely used utility. Given the volume of the file for my task, wget is not suitable.

Recently have come across aria2 project. Features:

• light-weight
• multi-protocol
• multi-source
• can be operated in command-line
• HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent( :) ) and Metalink.
• built-in XML-RPC interface. Can be manipulated aria2 via XML-RPC interface.
• Runs on Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Windows.

Hmmm.....That's a decent list of features to atleast motivate me for trying it out.
Lemme(aka Let me( expanded for the crawlers :P)) see how useful this turns out to be.

BTW: Previously, I was using aget, a multi-threaded accelerator that supports HTTP downloads. And yippie that helped me in filling my HD with many useful lectures and files but this was limited to only HTTP. :(
Adding to this the server guys have blocked usage of aget. :(

PS: Here is a small list of available informal contractions.
If you are more interested in the linguistic aspects of contractions and their limitations in usage please read this. I love this article by Browning.
Here is another by Radford.

OK, Thats too much a deviation from the topic and lemme stop here. ;)
