Aria2: How can I download multiple torrents with different options?

[ghost]

I'm trying to download multiple torrents with different options but I can't seem to figure out how.

For example, I have two torrent files 1.torrent and 2.torrent. 2.torrent is a multi-file torrent and I'd like to download only the first file from it. However, I'd like to download everything that 1.torrent can offer. Right now, doing this doesn't work as expected -

user@pc ~> aria2c -d /data/videos/ 1.torrent --select-file=1 2.torrent

The above command downloads only the first file from 1.torrent and 2.torrent which isn't expected.

Can aria2 download multiple torrents simultaneously with different options if desired?

There are several ways to achieve this.

Use -i input file option.

Example:

/path/to/1.torrent

/path/to/2.torrent
  select-file=1

See https://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html#input-file

If -i input file does not work, try aria2.addTorrent RPC method.

aria2.addTorrent RPC method

The input file option seems to work. Thanks!
