aria2

aria2 Unrecognized URI or unsupported protocol When the url have space in it

My input:

http://www.example.com/New file.zip

When try to download a remote file that have space in its url aria2 complains about it:

Exception caught
Exception: [download_helper.cc:451] errorCode=1 Unrecognized URI or unsupported protocol: New
Solution

  • Try to change the space into "%20"

    aria2c http://www.example.com/New%20file.zip

    Or

    aria2c "http://www.example.com/New file.zip"
