I am really new to ubuntu and using 14.04 version. I have heard that Aria2 is one of the best download managers. How can I change the directory using terminal so that it can put the file on a specific hard drive after it finishes downloading?

4@the_Seppi this question is not a duplicate at all. That is a global question this is application specific. – Michael Tunnell Apr 13 '15 at 23:54

-d, --dir=
The directory to store the downloaded file.
This option is per download basis, you have to do this every time.
Alternatively, you can install uGet, http://uGetdm.com , which is a front-end to aria2. You can also ask for help on the uGet Forum, http://uGetdm.com/forum

A full command for a magnet link would be:
aria2c -d /path/to/download/dir 'magnet:...'– OrigamiEye Oct 18 '20 at 11:12
