https://askubuntu.com/questions/790633/the-o-parameter-in-aria2c-cant-rename-the-downloaded-file
You are out of luck when attempting to rename .torrent
files with aria2c
, from the man pages:
-o, --out=<FILE>
The file name of the downloaded file. When the
--force-sequential option is used, this option is ignored.
NOTE:
You cannot specify a file name for Metalink or BitTorrent
downloads.
Note that this information is not contained in the help given with the command:
aria2c -h
but in the man pages that are read with the following:
man aria2c
With other types of files aria2c
works very nicely and appropriately renames as directed:
andrew@athens:~$ aria2c -d $HOME/test -o testing.jpg http://www.andrews-corner.org/images/fluxbox.jpg
