Another accelerator is Axel [0]. While aria2 supports all kinds of protocols, Axel supports Axel HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS. Both are excellent and I've used aria2 for a very long time.

I love axel. Whenever I have issues with video streaming due to the website having per client connection throttling, I extract the media src from the page and do axel -n 32 <url> and saturate my downlink (200mbit+).
