webui-aria2

Once aria2 is installed from repository, you can use it with an addon from Firefox : flashgot. You can also use it with Uget from repository (now version 2.0). Or you can use it with Webui-aria2, a frontend for aria2.

The first step to use Webui-aria2 is to enter aria2c --enable-rpc --rpc-listen-all in a terminal. You should have this :

07/11 09:30:04 [NOTICE] IPv4 RPC: listening on TCP port 6800

07/11 09:30:04 [NOTICE] IPv6 RPC: listening on TCP port 6800

A package is to be downloaded and unzipped to access the file index.html, available on the website above.

Secondly, you open this index.html file with your browser, and this page will open : file:///home/john/Documents/webui-aria2-master/index.html. This is the GUI for aria2.

Once there, you are ready to download all kind of files.

About Flashgot, to be used in combination with Downthemall, i found it is all you need for your download needs. Let's forget about every other plugins for Firefox to download videos from You Tube, and other similar websites. From Flashgot, you can use the built-in downloader, Uget, Wget, Aria2, any downloader installed is available via this plugin.

What's interesting with Webui-aria2 is the fact you can use it from any browser, once aria2 is installed. It's not hard-coded for any particular browser.
