CurlAxel - PHP file download accelerator

[Lifetalk]

Good script, and most definitely good effort right there. But a quick look through it, and the way you're accelerating downloads (using Curl) is not efficient at all. As it stands, curl/php is not good with file streaming/handling. And curl was most definitely not built with multi threaded downloading as it's pioneer or trump feature; it's just there.

I'll go through it in detail and suggest improvements. But beyond that, good effort.

Google 'Aria2' and then Google 'Aria2Web'. Then look through Aria2Web and see if you can create a simpler class based on that for users of KWWH. Aria2 is an excellent command line download accelerator for Linux; and coding a PHP XML-RPC gateway for it, which is simpler (and works) would be a great idea.

I just wanted to help, so this PHP class may help some people who need it. it's not a script, neither a software, it's a class used by developers to be integrated in their scripts. How about cookies, proxies and other curl option?? well, everybody know curl_setopt_array(), you need to create an array, put all your configs there and pass it to the class using setCurlOpts(). But keep in mind, these settings Rating: 5

Hi, Lifetalk,

JokerHacker's idea was originated from my thread here, we already had this discussion, as mentioned in that thread Aria's XML-RPC is very badly documented so it'll be very hard to build as scripts as such with Aria's API, if you're able to prove us wrong, feel free to do so

The XML documentation is non-existent, true. BUT, remember that there's already 2 PHP implementations out there - it's a matter of picking code from one of them, because as it stands, it's way too feature rich (most of them, if not all, not needed). Documentation is not necessary, as long as you have code out there to work with

i'll use class-IXR Library for the xmlrpc client

Robin H, me too

i will work on it, i've already started studying it. But i don't want to drop the current project, the aria wrapper will be another project. Because Aria is really good, but those who want to make very small yet smart script, CurlAxel would be better
