How can I automate multiple Aria2 commands to run consecutively?

Question

I'm trying to execute a command or script that will run a list of aria2 commands consecutively. I've tried writing a bat/cmd file for it but it always provides an error, specifically:

 [httpskipresponsecomand.cc:219] errorcode=3 resource not found.

Anyone know how to automate multiple aria2 commands?

For reference this is a template of the commands I'm using:

aria2c -P -Z -c -d c:\folder\destination\here -j 5 --check-certificate=false ^
       hxxp://site.com/videofiles/video_[1-200].ts

This works with out a problem when I run the commands manually, one by one, but when I run it in a .bat/.cmd file, I get the above error.

Been struggling with this for awhile now. Hopefully someone knows how to automate multiple aria2 commands to successfully execute in a consecutive manner.

It's not clear what resource is not found. It could be that brackets are interpreted by your command processor before being passed to aria2.

You can store the list of URIs a file. Then you would use --input-file option to download all the files from the list:

aria2c -P -Z --input-file=files-to-download.txt

You can use the parametrised URIs in the input file, see the format to input file. Basically, it should look like:

hxxp://site.com/videofiles/video1_[1-200].ts
hxxp://site.com/videofiles/video2_[1-200].ts

Alternatively, you may use a for-loop to generate the list of files:

for /L %%i in (1,1,200) do aria2c hxxp://site.com/videofiles/video1_%%i.ts
