That -2 and -1 thing is a packaging thing, so its possible that your distro is 
applying patches. The backend depends on how gnutls was built - I don't think 
you can change it at runtime.

Really? Can you show what
ldd /usr/lib/libnettle.so
(or whatever nettle library path) outputs?

Perhaps you need to ask aria2 developers.

What does ldd on the gnutls libraries show?
