NAME
     aget - A multithreaded HTTP download accelerator

SYNOPSIS
     aget [options] file ...

DESCRIPTION
     This manual page documents briefly the aget commands.  This manual page was
     originally written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.

     aget  fetches  HTTP  URLs in a manner similar to wget, but segments the re-
     trieval into multiple parts to increase download speed.   It  can	be  many
     times as fast as wget in some circumstances.

     It  is  the  starting point for a project attempting to replicate the func-
     tionality of a MS Windows program called Flashget.

OPTIONS
     -p     port number

     -l     local file name

     -h     Show summary of options.

     -v     Show version of program.

     -n     Suggested number of threads

     -f     force using suggested number of threads

EXIT STATUS
     The following exit values are returned:

     0	    Successful completion.

     1	    Application exited with failure.

     -1     POSIX pthreads creation error occurred.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1: Say you want to download a URL using 10 threads, just type:

     example% aget -n 10 http://www.enderunix.org/murat/barismanco-hibrahimsofrasi.mp3
