aria2ui

aria2ui

Aria2 UI is a node-webkit wrapper around "ziahamza/webui-aria2". webui-aria2 is by far the best aria2 gui I've found, however I hated having to open "aria2c", then WAMP just to get aria2 going.

This starts the interface on a small webserver, then pulls up the page using node-webkit.

• Running

For Mac OSX/Linux users aria2c will need to be in your PATH. Binaries for Windows are included.

The easy way: npm install -g aria2ui; aria2ui The hard way (you'll need Make):

git clone https://github.com/znetstar/aria2ui.git cd aria2ui npm install -g npm start

• Installing

Since downloading aria2c on windows can be a pain, I've included binaries for both 32/64 bit Windows which will be automatically used.

On Linux and OS X the app will look for aria2 in the system PATH. Most package managers have it, but if not compiling usually isn't very hard.

For Debian and Ubuntu: apt-get install aria2 For OS X (using brew): brew install aria2

• Customizing

The launcher will set the default download dir to the home folder, and will save the aria2 config in $HOME/.aria2/aria2.conf. Changes made on the web interface are persistent.

• Bugs

Feel free to open an issue on GitHub. I will say in advance this project depends on other heavily developed projects so it would be best to open issues on their respective pages rather than this one.
