[request] aget

Aget is a multithreaded HTTP -for now- download accelerator.
Everybody knows about the famous Flashget for Win32. This program is a starting point of a very useful project like Flashget. The aim is to provide as much functionality as we can.

I allways get an error with my pkgbuild

Re: [request] aget

Could you post your PKGBUILD and what error you get?

Re: [request] aget

I've tried it.  It's a ptread problem that cause the linker to seg faults. I think it's because the dev use an old version of gcc (gcc-2.96). I tried different things without success.

Re: [request] aget

I tried the development version and it compiles with no errors. However, I had to sed the Makefile to get the binary in the right place. Here's my PKGBUILD:

pkgname=aget
pkgver=devel
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Aget is a multithreaded HTTP -for now- download accelerator."
url="http://www.enderunix.org/aget/"
depends=()
source=(http://www.enderunix.org/$pkgname/$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sum=''

build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/bin
sed -i -e 's:/usr/local:../../pkg/usr:g' Makefile
make
make install
}

It's a strange package - the only file in it is the aget binary - but it installs fine. However, it won't run for me. I get the following error:

get: couldn't lseek:  Bad file descriptor

So back to you, or somebody.. :?

Re: [request] aget

works for me. try
aget -n4  URL

However the progress bar output is quite messy.

Re: [request] aget

Weird. I've tried it on all three of my Arch boxes here, and they're all giving the same error:

get: couldn't lseek:  Invalid argument

Different from yesterday's, but still not working.

Looking at the aget site again, I'm wondering if it's still in active development? The stable version 0.4 was released in Nov 02, and that development release dates back to 01 Jun 04.

I reckon I'll stick with wget for the mo...

Re: [request] aget

If you're looking for something similar to aget, there is prozilla in [extra].

Re: [request] aget

lseek is a C function. I'm using gcc 3.4.3-2
I'll stay with wget also. The output bug is too annoying.
