You call that reliable? It is no more reliable than a single http/ftp download.
That is annoying, but again, I'm not particularly worried about http/ftp unreliability. i.e. the danger is there, but if aria2 is going to ensure that I get a *very* fast download and still have that risk (which I consider very small) then that's perfect. And in fact, it *will* be the case like that for most people. Should we really remove http/ftp as a download option? This is getting ridiculous.
A single failure proves unreliability. A hundred sucesses do not prove otherwise.
A hundred successes proves that it's a decent method, but not that it's a perfect one; I wish you'd see that. Your inference from "it didn't work for me, others: DON'T USE IT!!!" is curious to say the least. The only thing I'd conclude is "dang, it didn't work for me", maybe try to find out the reasons why, I'd hardly go on a righteous crusade to wipe out anyone using aria2 (which is what you're doing). A wget download failed once for me because of ftp/http problems; idea! Let's tell everyone to never use wget, at all, ever. Regards, Francis.
