Compile a powerful command-line download tool
Authored by: blgrace on Jan 17, '07 04:06:40PM

Ok so I stole this code that was originally used with 'curl' - but essentially allows you to download files to your Desktop using a link copied to the paste buffer.

It's in the form of a bash alias - and I'm sure someone can do better
Anyway - it works as is …

alias aria='cd ~/Desktop && aria2c $(pbpaste) && cd - '
