I installed aria2 and tried powerpill but the download does not even start with it! :eek:
Then I installed axel and set it to create 10 links to the file when downloading, now I am getting 190+ kBps even in the Night Unlimited hours.

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux

Powerpill works fine here for all tasks execept full system upgrade.So I just use wget/aria2 with Xfercommand whenever I need to upgrade system.Pill rocks for all else. :D

I heard so many powerpill success stories but unfortunately in my case it did not even work. :( But now I am happy with the way Axel is working, and do not need to look anywhere else. :)

There is a commented line in the pacman.conf which refers to the wget settings. You can uncomment it just after installing wget. But why are you going for wget? It does not even support segmented file downloads. Go for Axel or Prozilla.

I am thinking of using the old fashioned get1 get2 get3 etc methord with wget. Its just for experimenting. cURL and Aria2 are the best otherwise.

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux

A WARNING TO ALL ARCH USERS

There is a new kernel update available to the pacman repos, version 2.6.26.2. DO NOT INSTALL IT VIA pacman -Su. It will break any graphics driver module as of now. There is also a update to nVidia driver in the pacman repos, said to have compiled against the new kernel but unfortunately it does not work.

So users should refrain from updating the kernel for the current period.
