The -o parameter in aria2c can't rename the downloaded file
6,060
You are out of luck when attempting to rename .torrent
files with aria2c
, from the man pages:
-o, --out=<FILE>
The file name of the downloaded file. When the
--force-sequential option is used, this option is ignored.
NOTE:
You cannot specify a file name for Metalink or BitTorrent
downloads.
Note that this information is not contained in the help given with the command:
aria2c -h
but in the man pages that are read with the following:
man aria2c
With other types of files aria2c
works very nicely and appropriately renames as directed:

I want to save the downloaded file as ok.mkv in /tmp.
aria2c -d /tmp -o ok.mkv /home/se.torrent
The downloaded name can't be changed into /tmp/ok.mkv ,it is still
/tmp/test.mkv when the command executed.In manual of
aria2c -h
,there is no strings such as:
NOTE: You cannot specify a file name for Metalink or BitTorrent downloads.

andrew.46 almost 8 yearsThe string is contained in the man pages as I have detailed below, which are accessed by running the command

andrew.46 almost 8 years@it_is_a_literature Did I add it in a quest for reputation points? No :). You have not looked at the
man
pages which are accessed from the Terminal by typing in:man aria2c
, the information is there... If you read to the bottom of the text given inaria2c -h
you will see a pointer to this that reads:Refer to man page for more information.
