aria2 in WSUS 8.6

[harry]

I am trying this out this morning.
I activated aria2. My platform is a Windows 7 x64 (i7 processors) &
typical US residential networking

* It seems REALLY slow compared to 8.5 - maybe only 10% as fast, or even worse

* A lot of these messages are interleaved in the command window running
the update:

Code: Select all

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Cleaning up client directory for win glb...
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Removing NTFS alternate data streams for win glb...

Never saw that before ... hope that's not important
Since I usually run this in scheduled tasks (batch) I'd never see it

* Lots of these type of messages in download.log & command window:

Code: Select all

Never saw "downloaded already completed" before ... what is it doing, running in the future
The EOL encoding is also wrong for windows I think, the lines are strung together

These messages have to be caused by aria2. Maybe the is a missing parameter...

[WSUSUpdateAdmin]

...but which one could it be then?
RTW

[aker]

I don't know. My wsusou still uses wget...

Sounds like a file download/validation by aria is not completed while other components of WOU already try to cleanup/delete NTFS data stream of these files.

[WSUSUpdateAdmin]

Yes, but Aria2 should not return before completion?!

I configured the common paramters (nearly exactly) as suggested in viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3815 (see ActivateAria2Downloads.cmd and http://aria2.sourceforge.net/manual/en/html/index.html, of course):"--conditional-get=true --allow-overwrite=true --file-allocation=none -x10 -j10 -s10 -k1M -R".

RTW

I am a completely new user in this forum. I have very little knowledge in computer. Can anybody tell me how I can configure/install area2 for fast downloading of WSUS?

[aker]

Just start .\cmd\ActivateAria2Downloads.cmd once.

[indraji2001]

Thanks aker..actually you have deep knowledge in computer...I have very small knowledge..can you tell me step by step...I tried what you told, by copy and pasting in the command line but it is not accepting..please help me considering me just a complete new in this area..since I never used command line ..please

At first you need to open a command promt.
Then enter the following code (please replace "<your wsusou dir>" with your path to wsusou)

Code: Select all

cd <your wsusou dir>\cmd
.\ActivateAria2Downloads.cmd


Then check the results.
The script should create the file .\cmd\custom\SetAria2EnvVars.cmd and it should have downloaded ./bin/aria2c-[x86/x64].exe. If both files exist, everything worked.
