Can aria2c download list of urls with specific file names for each?

Question

For example i have a list of URLs:

https://link.com/file/get/somefile.ext
https://go.com/download/anotherfile.ext
https://program.com/selection/download.php?id=26162

I want to set a specific name for last URL, something like this:

https://program.com/selection/download.php?id=26162 -o thirdfile.ext

Is it possible with aria2c download list syntax?

I know that I can do like this:

aria2c https://link.com/file/get/somefile.ext
aria2c https://go.com/download/anotherfile.ext
aria2c https://program.com/selection/download.php?id=26162 -o thirdfile.ext

But this way I run just too much of aria2c's. ._.

Answer 1

From the documentation on --input-file=

Additionally, options can be specified after each URI line. Option lines must start with one or more white space characters ( SPACE or TAB ) and must only contain one option per line. … See the Input File subsection for details.

If you ask me, that is not exactly crystal clear. So here's an example of an input file (with a single entry):

        out=openclonk.png

Answer 2

Example:

make a textfile, list.txt , with links:

https://www.google.hu/search?q=a&start=0
https://www.google.hu/search?q=a&start=10
https://www.google.hu/search?q=a&start=20

command:

aria2c -ilist.txt -j2

where -j option specifies the number of parallel downloads.

Result:

    D:\aria2c>aria2c -ihtml.txt

In the result, search will be the start=0 file and te search.2 will be the start=20 file, in order. So you can rename them in order, with an another script.

Solution:

Make a textfile, list.txt , with links, and after each link, started with tab or space the option:

https://www.google.hu/search?q=a&start=0
 out=s1.html
https://www.google.hu/search?q=a&start=10
 out=s2.html
https://www.google.hu/search?q=a&start=20
 out=s3.html

Command:

aria2c --input-file list.txt

Result:

D:\aria2c>aria2c --input-file list.txt
