Brand new install of aria2 and I tried to grab the FreBSD 12.1 amd64 image via
a magnet link:
# aria2c
'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:da22f9b3339bf44c0a2e33626658873253b67f8d&dn=FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img’
After about 30 minutes the only thing I get is updates showing 0 Bytes
downloaded.

Downloading a torrent file, in this case Ubuntu server, works fine:
aria2c
"http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso.torrent?_ga=2.195131947.685826887.1583367284-2079251896.1583367284”

5b7f37|OK | 36MiB/s|/root/ubuntu-18.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso
With a successful download in a few seconds.
I mean, I can use torrent files, but I prefer dealing with magnets and some
files (like the FreeBSD images) don’t have .torrents.
