Aria2c not working with parameter -i

[diamond_gr]

Hello,

I have rapidshare premeum account and I found out the aria2c program to download files with the -i filename.txt parameter.

I have kubuntu 7.04 and I installed it. I found the exact command and the result I get is invalid parameter -i. I searched and I found out that I have older version and it's not supported (I think version is 0.9.0), I was told to find new version to compile. I found one and installed it but it's also the same version.

My questions are:

1. How can I uninstall the old version (it cannot uninstall over Synaptic or Adept).

2. How can I install the version that supports the -i parameter?

Thanks

Re: Aria2c not working with parameter -i

1. How can I uninstall the old version (it cannot uninstall over Synaptic or Adept).

How did you install it ?

- If aria2 is from repositories (or it is .deb) then Synaptic or Adept should uninstall it.

- If you install programs without package management then you can't find programs with package managers (apt, aptitude, adept, synaptic...).

You could simply remove aria2c from /usr/bin (look answer to #2).

2. How can I install the version that supports the -i parameter?

Latest version:
aria2 - The high speed download utility
http://aria2.sourceforge.net/

Download

2007-09-10 aria2-0.11.3 released.
The source package and cygwin/mingw binary package are available at sourceforge.net

Follow the links >>>> aria2-0.11.3.tar.bz2 Platform-Independent Source .bz2

Unpack > read README, it tells:

From aria2 README

3. How to build
---------------
$ ./configure
$ make

The executable is aria2c in src directory.

Copy aria2c from /aria2-0.11.3/src to the /usr/bin.

Re: Aria2c not working with parameter -i

Thanks mate.

I've done it and it seems to work.

I've read that I have to put tab between the addresses. Is that true?
What happens if for somereason the address is invalid or my ISP crashes? I must find the address and put it again?

Thanks again?
