Using aria2c for ftp, http, and torrent downloads

Trying aria2c as a command-line replacement for wget, curl, and torrents.

• Use a new line for each file to download.
• Use aria2c -D URI for daemon (background) downloads, and free up a terminal window.

The joy of cURL

curl is a wonderfully useful and scriptable upload/download tool. For example, instead up firing up FTP to upload this page to my website, I figured out that I can open a Terminal and enter: $curl -v -T localpath/TechBlog.html -u username:password ftp://ftp.host.com/me/. And it does the whole thing for me!

Scripting and CURL

Learning to use curl, to download schedule information. Using a tutorial to guide me through the minutae of faking forms and another to guide through scripting it into BASH.
