Aria2 don't re-download file

Question

I'm using aria2 to download a list of files that is dynamically generated. I want it to skip the files that are already in the download directory, but instead of doing this, it just re-downloads them and adds a .1 to the filename. I tried using --check-integrity=true, but that did not change the behavior. Is there a way to make it skip files that already exist?

Answer 1

According to this issue the way to go should be

--auto-file-renaming=false

If a control file (.aria2) exists then the download will resume, otherwise if no control file exists then since --allow-overwrite is false by default the file will not be re-downloaded.
