"By far my go to app for downloading anything. aria2c [link] downloads anything"
Just to clarify, when you say "anything" do you mean things like soundcloud and youtube ?
Is this an alternative to a tool like youtube-dl ?
- vram22 11y agoGood question, I'd like to know too. aria is also controllable by Python via XML-RPC - seen that in the docs, on my stack to try, could be useful.
- nopcode 11y agoaria2c supports HTTP(S), FTP, SFTP and Torrent/Metalink. Many applications (youtube-dl through --external-downloader) can use aria2c as a "downloader backend". aria2c + https://github.com/ziahamza/webui-aria2 https://github.com/ziahamza/webui-aria2 offers a very fast, portable and simple download manager.
- sirn 11y agoProbably not quite what you meant (since it still require youtube-dl), but youtube-dl has built-in support for downloading using aria2c as a backend. youtube-dl --external-downloader=aria2c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
