Peer list is now divided into 2: unusedPeers_ and usedPeers_.
Duplicate check is done using std::set by comparing pair of IP address
and port. For this, only IP address and port given to the Peer
constructor are used. In other words, TCP port received from extended
message is not used for this purpose.
This change replaces the current 64 bit sequential GID with 64 bits
random bytes GID in an attempt to support persistent GID. Internally,
the GID is stored as uint64_t. For human representation and RPC
interface, GID is represented as 16 bytes hex string. For console
readout, 16 bytes are too long, so it is abbreviated to first 6 bytes.
When querying GID in RPC calls, user can speicfy the prefix of GID as
long as the prefix is shared by more than 1 GID entries.
If more than 1 simultaneous downloads are going on, use more compact
format in readout. Currently, at most 5 download stats are displayed.
util::abbrevSize() is rewritten to support "Gi" unit and provides more
compact abbreviation.
If we receive small data (e.g., 1 or 2 bytes), cache entry becomes a
headache. To mitigate this problem, we allocate cache buffer at least
4KiB and append the data to the contagious cache data.
This option enables disk cache. If SIZE is 0, the disk cache is
disabled. This feature caches the downloaded data in memory, which
grows to at most SIZE bytes. The cache storage is created for aria2
instance and shared by all downloads. The one advantage of the disk
cache is reduce the disk seek time because the data is written in
larger unit and it is reordered by the offset of the file. If the
underlying file is heavily fragmented it is not the case.
The old implementation calculates download/upload statistics for a
RequestGroup by summing up all PeerStat objects. For global
statistics, those are summed together. This clearly incurs runtime
penalty and we introduced some kind of caching which updates
statistics every 250ms but it did not work right.
This change removes all these aggregation code, and instead makes
RequestGroup and RequestGroupMan objects hold NetStat object and
download/upload bytes are directly calculated by thier own NetStat.
This is far more simplar than the old way and less runtime penalty and
brings more accuracy.
If true is given, which is default, save the uploaded torrent or
metalink metadata in the directory specified by --dir option. The
filename consists of SHA1-hash hex string of metadata plus
extension. For torrent, the extension is '.torrent'. For metalink, it
is '.meta4'. If false is given to this option, the downloads added by
aria2.addTorrent or aria2.addMetalink will not be saved by
--save-session option.
