Is there anyway to use http authentication with axel downloader?



I don't want to use another solution such as aria2c because they don't support more than 16 concurrent connections.

          You can set it in header by using -H option.



          Example:



          axel -a -n 4 -H 'Authorization: Basic [hashstring]' URL


          Where [hashstring] is base64 encoded string from string "username:password".
