Aria2 v0.11.3 Released

If you like to change the program you are using for downloading files you could try aria2 which gets a file from multiple URLs with a speed much faster than common web browsers have.

The utility supports FTP, HTTP protocols and BitTorrent.
It has also support for Metalink v 3.0, the Open Standard that bundles FTP, HTTP and P2P to get files into one format making downloads easier.

Like the previous version, aria2 v0.11.3 has support for chunk checksums in Metalink meaning it validates chunk checksums while downloading for example a BitTorrent file.

Its developer, Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa brought some feature enhancements to the latest version, including support for Cygwin/MinGW and French translation.

Aria2 is available for download in Windows and UNIX versions.
