Features:
  • Replace Firefox's built-in download window directly, no need to click the download button in Firefox's built-in download window first or use the context menu to start a download.
  • It's able to send Headers (referrer, cookies) to Aria2
  • Run and shutdown Aria2 automatically.
  • Automatically obtain and pass Proxy settings to Aria2.

Known Issues:
  • Shutdown Aria2 when Firefox closes does not work currently due to the behavior change of Firefox.
  • Sometimes you will get an error message after you click the download button probably because Aria2c hasn't fully started.
  • Function of "Open" is temporarily disabled due to the limitation of Firefox.

=====================================================

You need to download and start Aria2 by yourself, complete at least 'Protocol,' 'Host,' 'Port' and 'Interface' in the options page and then click the 'Save' button.

If you don't want to start Aria2 manually, just write a program to start Aria2 in the background and register it to the system's 'autostart' or 'uri scheme.'
You can find the sample files here.

=====================================================
Aria2 is a multi-threaded downloader that also supports torrent and magnet.
