Add More Url's or Mirrors to single file that the threads can use.

Open HellPhantom opened this issue 1 month ago • 2 comments

I download files that are very slow but they exist on multiple servers but only allow one connection per server.

I would like to be able to add more url's so the file can be downloaded from multiple servers at the same time. The current multiple threads does not work because these servers only allow one connection. If the Multiple threads could then also utilize the multiple mirrors it will really speed it up.

I download frequently from tezfiles.com and they are a great example. I can normally get up to 5 different download url's.

Cool. I currently also use ARIA2 with the WebUI-Aria2 interface to achieve this.

You can either add multiple url's at the beginning or you can add them later by stopping d/l and creating new d/l with more or new url's added. it will then resume current download as if you paused and just added more URL's.

Problem is if you have to use command line arguments for everything done on a pc you will never get anything done. I just want some comfort and convenience.

I have tested many other apps and I Prefer this one. It is nice clear and simple exactly what I want. I especially like the display and info provided.

I originally set out to get a d/l manager that can download a single file from from multiple URL'S similar to a torrent and Aria2 was the only one that worked. I tested many apps (AntDM, FDM, Getright, Jdownloader) that say they can but can't. They all do multiple files from list or they can do torrents which is not normal URL's. It is in this process I discovered Brisk and decided to hold on to this one, it has good potential and definitely beats normal browser downloading.

I could not get them to work with "tezfiles.com" url's they would priority one and only download from one at a time. I could force them to switch to which one I want them to use but at no point did they d/l from multiple Url's. Many people had this same issue when I searched.

Aria2 was simple and just works, I have added up to 7 URl's and it worked fast simple and great. If you download longer than say 12 hours the link expires and you can just get new links replace them and voila downloading again. I am doing this for six months so I know it works.
