aria2c -c -x 10 -k 5Mrocks. Faster and more persistent than Firefox' built-in downloader, while still working on most servers.Alright someone explain this to me π€£
Excerpted from the manual linked by the other response by @funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works for those who don't want to dig through it:
Basically, a powerful and versatile file downloader. It includes options to distribute downloads across multiple connections, download a bunch of files at once, automatically retry failed downloads, authorization, cookies and a lot of fancy options.
@MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip has already explained what the specific flags in this case do:
Specifically
-xis the maximum number of connections per server, relevant mostly if multiple downloads are queried at once.-kdefines the minimum size per block downloaded. In this case, if the file is smaller than 10MiB, it won't be split because that would make the parts smaller than 5MiB. If it is larger,aria2cwill split it into multiple connections, up to a default of 5 (unless a differenr value is specified by-s).would get you

I think (a while ago)
-cis with a temp file to pick up again on failure-x 10: # of connections-k 5M: block size or something
