severity 621728 wishlist retitle 621728 "axel: manpage needs to be clear on usage of multiple URLs" found 621728 2.4-1.1 thanks
Hi, It is true "axel: doesn't honor multiple URLs" targetting different files. It allow mirror URLs pointing to the same file. I can execute following from my Bash terminal. $ axel -n 20 http://{ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian-cd/,ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Debian-CD/,ftp.nara.wide.ad.jp/debian-cd/,cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/}6.0.4/amd64/iso-cd/debian-6.0.4-amd64-CD-1.iso Initializing download: http://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian-cd/6.0.4/amd64/iso-cd/debian-6.0.4-amd64-CD-1.iso File size: 676331520 bytes Opening output file debian-6.0.4-amd64-CD-1.iso ... It works!!! OPTIONS One argument is required, the URL to the file you want to download. When downloading from FTP, the filename may contain wildcards and the program will try to resolve the full filename. Multiple URL's can be specified as well and the program will use all those URL's for the download. Please note that the program does not check whether the files are equal. This manpage needs to be rephrased: One argument is required, the URL to the file you want to download. When downloading from FTP, the filename may contain wildcards and the program will try to resolve the full filename. Multiple mirror URLs to an identical file can be specified as well and the program will use all those URLs for the download. Please note that the program does not check whether the files are equal. By the way, I just NMUed 2.4-1.1 to experimental. Please check it out and give me feed back. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
