Aria2 - The ultra fast download utility

Hey there, just a first timer to do a post!

UPDATED

Just found a way to download your stuff(Software, Videos) to your Windows machine with with these steps using Aria2NG-Native as it seems to fail for some to get it to work.


Step 1: Download Aria2 & Aria2NG-Native for your Computer


Step 2: Configure Aria2

  • Open CLI(Windows Command Line Interface) then run aria2c, if returns “Specify at least one url …” then you’re good to go.

  • Also, if you downloaded using 2st method in step 1:

    Extract the zip and move the folder to the C:

    Rename the Folder to Aria2c, open it and copy its path.

    Open CMD by running as Adminstrator and copy-paste setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Aria2c" /M , then run aria2c to confirm.


Step 3: Open Listening Port

  • Open Windows CLI, run it as administrator and paste aria2c --enable-rpc --rpc-listen-all. If everything goes right, you’ll see this

  • If not, then use netstat -ano | findstr :6800, and kill those process(es) using their ID using taskkill /PID {ProcessID} /F i.e taskkill /PID 20668 /Fas in image below


Step 4: Install add-on to send downloads to Aria2 Instance(Aria2NG-Native)


Step 5: Start Downloading using Aria2NG-Native
