I found a bash script with wget here :

Code:

 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=5470985

I want to use aria2. its giving bad variable name. the script is:

Code:

 echo "Name"
read name
echo start no.
read incr
while read i 
  do 
    aria2c "$i" -x 16 -o $name_ep$incr
    incr=$((incr+1))
done < $name

Can anyone help me?

You have no variable called "$name_ep". Assuming that should be the "name" variable, you will need to enclose in braces: "${name}_ep"

You should also get in the habit of quoting all variables unless you are 100 sure you do not need to.

is that the whole script?
what is it supposed to do, what are you trying to achieve?
