Beside all shitty comment over here I want to say Axel is the best Download accelerator ever build I use it over 10 years and never disappointed me. I use it do download files "Big fat files" from G Drive and it suck all the Network connection from my VPS server "Yeah it is bad like that" I got comfortably ~20MB/s from G. Las Visitors don't listens to does ignorant commenter above specially "JayC" Cheers .

It appears that axel will use the http_proxy environment variable, but the no_proxy environment variable is ignored. It does recognize no_proxy in $HOME/.axelrc

@Aaron,

Yes aria2 is very similar to Axel, as we do have a detailed guide on aria2 as well, you can find the instructions here:

I like aria2 https://aria2.github.io/ as a command line downloader.
It is similar to axel if you can’t find axel in your repos try aria.

It supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink. aria2 can be manipulated via built-in JSON-RPC and XML-RPC interfaces.

Can you do write up on it as well.

In reply to JayC. @JaC, Second: That shitty pop has option "Close" to disable notification, if you would have been chosen 'Close' button, that pop up never be shown you again. Third: Actually, as Gabriel stated, you won't read the article carefully, the pop has clear instructions and its upto you to Allow or Close the notification.. It's your choice, whether you want to visit or not this blog, and yes there are number of other good blogs, but there too you will find such same popup notifications, ads, buy products, etc.....
