aria2 on amazon linux

# download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/aria2/files/stable/aria2-1.19.0
sudo yum install gcc-g++ openssl-devel -y
tar xvfj aria2...tar.bz2
./configure
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install

For the recent AMIs I suggest gcc48-c++ instead of gcc-g++

An update for AWS Linux 2, also enables metalink support.
