[0] There's a copy I built here: URL:http://www.davjam.org/~davjam/linux/SUSE-10.0/i586/ URL:http://www.davjam.org/~davjam/linux/SUSE-10.1/i586/ And here's a package I maintain for SUSE 10.2 (factory), 10.1, 10.0, 9.3 and 9.2, i686 and x86_64 ;)
There it is again, duplication of packaging :| I also have 10.0 and 10.1 as x86_64, along with 9.3 and 9.2 as 32bit, and there's even a version for FC5. However, the version I have is 0.8.1. I haven't built 0.9.0 as yet, so yours would be the better choice.

You have to pass -s <jobs> to aria2c for parallelized/segmented downloads (just have a look at the manpage.
Or leave it without the -s and just pass multiple URLs that point to the same file.
aria2 has a very, very low memory footprint for downloading torrents. rtorrent is very lightweight too (but from 1-2 very quick tests, aria2c seems to even use slightly less than rtorrent, but both are comparable).
Haven't tried rtorrent. For torrents I use Azureus. Aria2 is used in place of wget.
Ok. But rtorrent and aria2 are really good at torrent too ;)
They use a *lot* less memory as compared to ktorrent and azureus.
Note that for parallelized downloads, lftp [1] can do that too (awesome
ftp/http/ftps/https/sftp/fish client) - just use "pget -n <max parallel
downloads> <file>"
