Prefer using aria2 instead of wget

[arguiot]

Aria2 is a much faster downloading utility. https://github.com/aria2/aria2 You can easily fix your script by replacing all the wget occurrences with aria2c and lower case the -O

I guess much faster way would be to use aria2's multi-connection download capability. From hosts with very high capacity bandwidth like 300Mb/s +, this would help noticeably. 16, split, simultaneously? Very fast.

My suggestion would be to opportunistically use aria2c if it's available with fast parameters set.

But curl and wget must support multi-connection from different replicas and ips on DNS already...

Do you have any examples? I cannot find any documentation on how this can be accomplished. In fact, I find the opposite as all documentation seems to point to curl/wget being only able to handle a single connection at a time for a single file.

Reading this GitHub, I realize something about making a download split by number and use Node Streams solution to make multiple download of one file split ready the files and groups all in the end
