|
|
|
|
- Specify piece selection algorithm used in HTTP/FTP download. Piece
|
|
|
- means fixed length segment which is downloaded in parallel in
|
|
|
- segmented download. If ``default`` is given, aria2 selects piece so
|
|
|
- that it reduces the number of establishing connection. This is
|
|
|
- reasonable default behavior because establishing connection is an
|
|
|
- expensive operation. If ``inorder`` is given, aria2 selects piece
|
|
|
- which has minimum index. Index=0 means first of the file. This will
|
|
|
- be useful to view movie while downloading it.
|
|
|
- :option:`--enable-http-pipelining` option may
|
|
|
- be useful to reduce re-connection overhead. Please note that aria2
|
|
|
- honors
|
|
|
- :option:`--min-split-size <-k>` option,
|
|
|
- so it will be necessary to specify a reasonable value to
|
|
|
- :option:`--min-split-size <-k>` option.
|
|
|
- If ``random`` is given, aria2 selects piece randomly. Like
|
|
|
- ``inorder``, :option:`--min-split-size <-k>` option is honored.
|
|
|
- If ``geom`` is given, at the beginning aria2 selects piece which has
|
|
|
- minimum index like ``inorder``, but it exponentially increasingly
|
|
|
- keeps space from previously selected piece. This will reduce the
|
|
|
- number of establishing connection and at the same time it will
|
|
|
- download the beginning part of the file first. This will be useful
|
|
|
- to view movie while downloading it.
