1. Follow the site-wide rules

- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo in Windows.
- No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. ๐ฌ๐ง Language/ัะทัะบ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฆ๐บ๐บ๐ธ
- Comments written in other languages are allowed.
- The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
- Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
- Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

aria2c -c -x 10 -k 5Mrocks. Faster and more persistent than Firefox' built-in downloader, while still working on most servers.Alright someone explain this to me ๐คฃ
Excerpted from the manual linked by the other response by @funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works for those who don't want to dig through it:
Basically, a powerful and versatile file downloader. It includes options to distribute downloads across multiple connections, download a bunch of files at once, automatically retry failed downloads, authorization, cookies and a lot of fancy options.
@MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip has already explained what the specific flags in this case do:
Specifically
-xis the maximum number of connections per server, relevant mostly if multiple downloads are queried at once.-kdefines the minimum size per block downloaded. In this case, if the file is smaller than 10MiB, it won't be split because that would make the parts smaller than 5MiB. If it is larger,aria2cwill split it into multiple connections, up to a default of 5 (unless a differenr value is specified by-s).I think (a while ago)
-cis with a temp file to pick up again on failure-x 10: # of connections-k 5M: block size or something
