I just wanted to echo this.

I hope aria2 gets included in the next version of openSUSE. The more people
that are exposed to it, the better.

Whether you use ftp/http, bittorrent, or metalink to download the new ISOs,
aria2 is a very handy CLI downloader. It doesn't use as many system
resources as Azureus (which I use from time to time, good in certain cases
but kinda bogs down my system).

KDE4 will have a new version of KGet which should support metalink. The
whole GUI aspect and integration should make metalink use more accessible to
non CLI users.
