aria2 errors

I just installed aria2 (aria2_0.16.2-1_mipsel) and tried to use it to download a file, but comes with the following errors ...

Exception caught
Exception: epoll_init() failed.

When I run the aria2c command, without arguments, I do get the help summary.

Would I be missing some packages (that aren't dependencies), or does it sound like a bug?

it seems that the epoll function is not implemented in the kernel, aria2c needs to get recompiled with epoll disabled. the previous version of aria in the repository has worked just fine.

Thanks for that info.

Is there anywhere that has previous versions online?

aria2 just been upgraded to version 1.0.0-1, in the repository, and still displays the same error.

Can somebody help?

try this. not sure what the event polling is good for here.

Code:

---

aria2c http://www.google.com --event-poll=select

---

seems to be working now with the new version.

Code:

---

aria2c --version

aria2 version 1.2.0
