+ If you have aria2 installed, then it will be used to download files.
+ Aria2 can split the download in chunks, and download those chunks in //
+ which can be interesting to speed up the download.
+
+ On the other hand, using many chunks, or even chunking in general, may
+ be seen by some site admins as being kind of unfair, or even as a DoS.
+ That's why the range of acceptable values is [1..10], and the default
+ is 5 (aria2's default).
