Many! These tools are (also) available on Termux.
aria2
axel
wget
Install on Termux:
pkg update
pkg upgrade
pkg install wget axel aria2
# curl is also useful, to use with https://transfer.sh
pkg install curl
1. aria2
aria2 is one of the most powerful downloaders now. It also has web UI, Android app Google Play store
APK files are also available on https://f‐droid.org
The command-line version aria2c is sometimes too powerful to be simple. To simplify, we can use the command with Web UI or Android app mentioned above.
Manual is here
We can also use a configuration file to set preferred arguments for aria2c to use by default. Thus, we can simply pass the download URL alone, no need to type the option arguments every time.
2. axel
It is less feature-rich than aria2. To set the maximum number of connections:
-n x Specify the maximum number of connections
To view full help: axel -h

- wget
It is a long time friend. You know it well already. However, it does not support multi connections.
wget ‐c -O new_name.zip https://example.com/file.zip
Conclusion
On Termux, I make a config file and an alias (command in ~/.zshrc) to start aria2c and web-UI.
The configuration file is something like:
max-concurrent-downloads=10
max-connection-per-server=3
min-split-size=5M
split=10
