[1] might interest you although I have to admit that the ass-backwards
installation process means that I wasn't to get it running myself. Also
be careful of one of the scripts putting its own locale settings in one
of your dotfiles because they obviously know better.

Do you mind pointing out /why/ it's the `Best d/l utility on the
market'? OP is currently using rtorrent and he has an issue with
colouring. Even if you feel like he might benefit from another client, a
justification should be in place. I have looked at aria2 web page and it
says:

Lightweight. aria2 doesn’t require much memory and CPU time. The
physical memory usage is typically 4MiB (normal HTTP/FTP downloads) to
9MiB (BitTorrent downloads). CPU usage in BitTorrent with download speed
of 2.8MiB/sec is around 6%.

Fully Featured BitTorrent Client. All features you want in BitTorrent
client are available: DHT, PEX, Encryption, Magnet URI, Web-Seeding,
Selective Downloads and Local Peer Discovery.


I'm sorry but that's hardly worth switching to. I have just short of
1 active torrents in my rtorrent and it uses 750MB of memory and 0.7
to 1.2% CPU (Core 2 Duo). It hardly looks like aria can beat that so
it's clearly not the performance you're advertising.

As an rtorrent user, I'm genuinely interested why would one ever
consider switching to aria at all, especially as OP hasn't complained
about lack of any features that aria might have or do better.

Thanks
