axel VS aria2

I recently found [axel], which is very impressive wget-like tool for larger files.

[axel]: https://github.com/axel-download-accelerator/axel

no - https://github.com/axel-download-accelerator/axel it's really only for linux - there is a chocolatey ver out there for windows but if you're on win10/11 install bash and use wget2.

So I am new to software development and trying to get started in open source. I'm trying to figure out where to start reading the code for some project, say Axel. As per my current understanding, the function definitions should form a directed acyclic graph and I need to start in the topologically sorted order. Is there some existing library that allows me to do this at a higher level? I didn't know where to ask this so I hope this gets answered.

That said, "download accelerators" were also clever programs that would create multiple connections with the origin and use Range headers to download different parts of the file.

Wonder why I don't hear of them anymore. Maybe because server upload bandwidth is more often generous enough to saturate your bandwidth these days?

You can do this from the command line with axel: https://github.com/axel-download-accelerator/axel

For sites with limited download speeds I usually use aria2 (via terminal) since it supports segmented/multi connection downloading. But I guess this wouldn't work with 1fichier, since with these sites you usually don't get direct link to the file and/or sites like these limit the number of parallel connections. I also used it for torrents for a while, but I wouldn't recommend doing this anymore.

Try a download utility like aria2c it's on GitHub. It's a command line utility but it makes using direct downloads less painful by caching downloads and starting where you leave it off. https://github.com/aria2/aria2 Download it from the releases page

You'll need two pieces of software: yt-dlp and aria2. These are tools that help you download videos from the internet. Once downloaded, place them both in the same folder on your computer.

if you must use DDLs, and I've never had to, use aria2 and use the following

https://github.com/aria2/aria2/releases/tag/release-1.36.0 and run "aria2c.exe -x 16 -s 16 https://pixeldrain.com/api/file/8ppyvrWb?download" in cmd or wait for mirrors

You could try a tool like https://aria2.github.io
