aria2 1.22.0
aria2 1.23.0
============
Release Note
------------
This release adds new feature that manages the number of concurrent
downloads dynamically. --stream-piece-selector option gets new value
"random" which randomizes the piece selection for HTTP/FTP downloads.
This effectively randomizes the order of files on multi-file Web
Seeding. Now all contributor's names are in AUTHORS file.
Previously, aria2 shows error when it sees floating point number in a
torrent file because torrent file specification does not allow
floating point number. In this release, they are just ignored, and
aria2 continues to parse the rest of the torrent file as if there is
nothing wrong.
This release fixes several bugs reported by users, and adds several
new features. Read the following section for details.
Changes
-------
* Add description about possible fragmentation with
--file-allocation=trunc
* Simplify cache write
* Make single-entry metalink download with multi-file torrent work
The previous cache write routine was too complex. I'm sure I can
rewrite it to more elegantly. But the primary motivation of this
complex logic is for disk activity reduction on Windows 7, and I
observed it on my old IDE disk. I checked it again recently, and
there is no difference between with and without this complex logic.
For this reason, it was removed. Will revert this change if many of
users are not happy with this.
* Add all contributor's names in AUTHORS
* Allow subsecond value in ns cookie.txt file's expiry time field
* Ignore floating number in torrent file
Fixes GH-655
* Added support for a dynamic management of the number of concurrent
downloads as a function of the overall bandwidth observed
* Adjust chromium cookie time
This change adds --optimize-concurrent-downloads option.
* import-po: iterate on glob, not ls output
