Parameters (-a)for newer versions(v2.17.11) don't work, and downloads are slow. (the fastest version is 2.5)

Other parameters do nothing apparently. For example: --num-connections, --timeout

They do work for me... can you provide some more information?

Axel 2.17.11 (linux-gnu)

For some reason I was unable to make --num-connections=1 work, because axel would always use 4 connections as shown in the progress line. Today I repeated a similar command and it seems to work well.

The command is

axel -v --num-connections=1 --timeout=2 -H 'Referer: https://tezfiles.com/' 'https://str-05.filestore.app/bbb98dcbf51f6/5ee1a6e6b7045/497cd5b03f377?temp_url_expires=1707313063&temp_url_id=13f3e89c-dce9-4204-bd5d-75491bd344e6&countable=true&filename=Battle.of.the.Amazons.1973.mkv&inline=false&content_type=video%2Fx-matroska&concurrency=1&rate_limit=67584&response_limit=0&ip_access_policy=first&tags=project%3Atz%2Caction%3Adownload%2Cdownload_id%3A40680473764%2Cfile_id%3A336292455%2Csize%3A1541210342%2Cowner_id%3A119339%2Csite_owner_id%3A119339%2Csite_id%3A1159%2Cdownload_type%3Afree%2Cis_server%3Afalse%2Ccountry_code%3AAE%2Cuser_file_id%3A453f1bc3cf146%2Cuser_id%3A&temp_url_issuer=5445f78a91de707b297e67ed&temp_url_sig=9a694943a8ade7ca26168a2efdc473bc76514e72692ae27967af0cd410f6089b646d57ecb3145d2ae116b71924f06248ee3dd78f7438edfe9ad93242898a73bd&client_ip=62.210.214.125'

"Alternate progress indicator" does not make any difference.
