Does LOG refer to the log file? If I use '-l' then aria2c -l logfile is the
correct syntax? But if I use '-log' then it's aria2c --log=logfile?

What is the command to get aria2c to print to stdout?

' 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
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'

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.

So far the program isn't providing any error/help messages except look in
places that don't exist for the error message.

This is a lot of effort for something that should be easy to do.
Thanks for your help,
