CurlAxel - PHP file download accelerator

[CuraHack]

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.

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
