Display progress when downloading from a list of URLs

Open Aditya94A opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

I'm downloading 50k-60k files at a time with aria, the problem is it gives me absolutely no output as to how far along it has come. I'd love a simple occasional output like Downloading the N<sup>th</sup> file...

This would be tremendously useful. It could be further enhanced by keeping a running average of the time taken per file to download which (when multiplied by the number of files remaining to be downloaded) would give us an ETA for the entire list of downloads to complete.

I find this ironic: there are three ways aria2 provides feedback if you do not count the log file:

  • console log
  • console readout
  • download progress summary

None of the three provide information requested.

However given how many open issues are there and how few comments from the developers we see I think we should not really hold our breath ;(

at least, session file shows unfinished files. Better than nothing. Don't forget to set --save-session-interval something greater than 0 otherwise it only outputs once everything is finished which actually makes save-session useless otherwise. aria2c --save-session file.txt --save-session-interval=1

This output would be highly appreciated as part of the download progress summary. Thanks!
