aria2fe FOR LINUX

aria2fe is a cool graphical user interface (GUI) for the command line program called aria2. It's built using C++/Qt and works on GNU Unix/Posix/Linux platforms. Basically, it makes using aria2 way easier!

What Does aria2fe Do?

The main idea behind aria2fe is to help you create the aria2 command line syntax without having to type everything out. You just click around in a friendly environment, and it takes care of launching aria2 through xterm for you. Plus, you can keep an eye on your download progress right in xterm acting as a console for aria2fe. If you want, once the download starts, you can close aria2fe, freeing up some system resources while xterm does its thing until your download finishes.

Avoiding Mistakes with aria2fe

It cuts down on those annoying typos and incorrect arguments by giving you a correct command line every time. Plus, seeing how the command line is built helps you pick the right options easily. You can even save your settings to a "conf" file and load them up whenever needed—no limits on how many conf files you can have!
