Love the tool, but hate the name. Can't they just call it 'aria' instead. Typing that 2c part annoys the hell out of me. It's just wrong.


Just make an alias. If you find yourself passing the same parameters, this could be doubly useful


Does your shell don't have command-completion? zsh does have a programmable completion and it is great. There was an gtk 1.2 aria1 that used to be the most useful application besides Mozilla in my Gnome desktop, it remains the best graphical download manager that I used so far.
