• 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.

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

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.
