PLEASE NOTE: youtube-dl-aria is obsolete - youtube-dl added builtin support for external downloaders early 2015. If you want to duplicate the behaviour of youtube-dl-aria using just youtube-dl, you can run: mkdir -p ~/.config/youtube-dl/ cat > ~/.config/youtube-dl/config <<EOF -o "[%(upload_date)s][%(id)s] %(title)s (by %(uploader)s).%(ext)s" --external-downloader aria2c --external-downloader-args "-c -j 3 -x 3 -s 3 -k 1M" EOF youtube-dl-aria =============== A wrapper that speeds up youtube-dl downloads by utilising aria2's capability of opening multiple connections per server.
