aria2 is a lightweight multi-protocol & multi-source command-line download utility. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent and Metalink. aria2 can be manipulated via built-in JSON-RPC and XML-RPC interfaces.


Usage of aria2 could speedup download process massivly.

It's not necessary to start x instances of wget but only one aria2 instance and it's possible to use parallel connections for downloads

Aria2 is already supported as optional download engine. It has its own set of problems though.
