@rossijonas posted on twitter:

🧙⌨️ One of the magic CLI aliases I love and use very often.

Use it like this:

suck https://my-download-link

Requires the powerful download tool Aria2:

https://aria2.github.io/

#CLI #linux #bash #zsh #unix

The alias code:

alias suck='aria2c --file-allocation=none -c -x 10 -s 10 -d "$HOME/Downloads" '
