I like using the aria2[0] download utility - I don't think I've downloaded anything bigger than a dozen megabytes through a web browser for the last several years, and this method allows me more protocols, multiple connections, and of course continuing downloads. That said, it's nice someone found a solution to the problem - makes life easier for everyone who doesn't use an external download utility... How do you even go about finding the solutions to bugs like this?

Accidentally discovered recently that aria2 supports magnet files. Pretty sure it covers just about every "move this from here to me" use case.
