This will not execute. No errors reported, the command is simply erased.
It's a _reading_ problem... aria2c -l ~/aria2c.log -T
' Usage: aria2c [options] URL ... aria2c [options] -T TORRENT_FILE FILE ...' I see you left out 'URL' in your example. Because it is optional? This is confusing. What is a Torrent file? Is *.metalink a torrent file? Which torrent file is expected here. I need to set up a log file in order to find out why there is an error (where there should be no error-this should just work imho). Can you tell me the command using this program that will create the log file so I can move on. The best I can come up with based on
What is the command to get aria2c to print to stdout? the man pages and emails is: aria2c -l ~/aria2c.log -T openSUSE-10_2-GM-DVD-i386_iso.metalink 9+ which doesn't work: malformed meta data. Which raises another question. Which part of this statement is meta data? All I see is a command:'aria2c';an option '-l';a file: ' ~/aria2c.log'; another option:'T'; and another file:'openSUSE-10_2-GM-DVD-i386_iso.metalink'
The error response from the program told you that a torrent parameter was necessary
# man aria2c No manual entry for aria2c
17:01 wahoo:~ > rpm -ql aria2|grep gz /usr/share/man/man1/aria2c.1.gz
So 'aria2c -l -' gives me the help menu, I thought it would print the log to stdout. 'aria2c -l '-' ' just disappears. 'aria2c -l /home/myhome/aria2c.log' doesn't execute or return it just disappears. I thought it would use aria2c.log to store the log.
same as my first comment aria2c -l ~/aria2c.log -T
There are no man pages on my system. They should be in /usr/local/man. I started with aria2-0.9.0.tar.bz2
why are you installing tar-balls on an rpm based system when there are rpms build for your system available? no, no, no
I went to the sourceforge page for aria2 and there were no suse rpms. I didn't think to check anywhere else. I have now installed the rpm on top of the tar.bz install. Now I have the man pages but I didn't need them since you had copied the log data in your response. I still get the same error message.
How do I make this work?
use the rpm files and read the error/help comments provided by the program.
So far the program isn't providing any error/help messages except look in places that don't exist for the error message.
