| Jul 10, 2021 at 2:21 | comment | added | Joe Jobs | @MonkeyZeus - in aria2 the concurency is enabled by default and it is set to 5, I tried "aria2c -i links.txt" and "wget -i links.txt" and the result was 5 minutes versus 25 minutes. That means aria2c is 5 times faster by default, without bothering to split the download into 5 input files or 5 scripts | |

| Jul 9, 2021 at 9:29 | comment | added | marcelm | Consider the load you're putting on the server, too. If it's a well-configured server serving static files it might barely notice. But if the pages are dynamically generated, downloading many pages quickly may noticeably affect the web site's performance. That's not very nice, and if the site operators notice it may get you in to trouble (up to criminal charges for a DDoS attack). I wouldn't go crazy with concurrency if I were you. | |
