Details: I looked through the aria2c man page and AFAICT this isn't currently possible. I have files on an HTTP server with corresponding .metalink files in the same directory (http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/ alt/stage/deltaisos/). These have chunk checksums but only one download URL (the purpose is to allow repairing broken downloads). Is it possible to either specify a relative URL (so it looks in the same directory as the .metalink file, similar to zsync) or no URL at all, and tell aria2c to use the .metalink file together with a specified download URL? If not, could this ability be added to aria2? In short, allow relative URI in metalink file and when it is dereferenced, it first concatenated with URI of metalink file. I think this is missing feature in metalink. I think zsync has this relative link support. The originator said they removed from metalink file from their server so their problem was solved. But I am interesting in this "extension". What do you think about this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Metalink Discussion" group.
