How to set download speed limits in aria2?
Published on Aug. 22, 2023, 12:19 p.m.
To set download speed limits in aria2, you can use the --max-download-limit
flag followed by the maximum download speed you want to set in bytes per second. Here’s an example command:
aria2c --max-download-limit=512K http://example.com/file.zip
In this example, we’re setting the maximum download speed to 512 kilobytes per second for a download of file.zip
from http://example.com
using aria2c
and the --max-download-limit
flag.
You can also set a maximum overall download speed limit for all downloads using the --max-overall-download-limit
flag, like this:
aria2c --max-overall-download-limit=1M http://example.com/file.zip
In this example, we’re setting the maximum overall download speed limit to 1 megabyte per second for all downloads.
Note that setting a download speed limit may affect the total time it takes to download a file or files, depending on the download speed and the size of the file being downloaded.
