5. BitTorrrent
|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
The filename of the downloaded file is determined as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
single-file mode:
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-03-24 19:59:18 +08:00
|
|
|
In both mode, aria2 needs at least 2 times more disk space than the file size
|
|
|
|
|
itself because it creates complete temporary file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-03-22 00:07:22 +08:00
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
|
|
|
* -o option is used to change the filename of downloaded .torrent file.
|
|
|
|
|
* This version only supports compact peers list format.
|
|
|
|
|
* The ports aria2c uses are 6881-6999.
|
|
|
|
|
* The maxmum number of peers are 55.
