What is wrong with my aria2.conf?

bxbzq · Dec 26, 2023

Hello folks,
Trying to figure out how to use aria2 as the main downloading tool. Following some instructions available on internet, I have these lines in ~/.aria2/aria2.conf. When I run aria2c command the message is No files to download. Downloading via http links works ok when/if I remove the aria2.conf file. The thing is, I need to config aria2 to fetch things via magnet or bt links. So, some help with the config file is appreciated.

Code:

Tried http, magnet and bt links, and this one works.
Many thanks.

You can also use aria2c as an external downloader for yt-dlp

yt-dlp config location

Code:

~/.config/yt-dlp/config

yt-dlp config

Code:

# external downloader aria2
--downloader aria2c --downloader-args aria2c:'-c -j 3 -x 3 -s 3 -k 1M'

# native downloader for dash and m3u8
--downloader 'dash,m3u8:native'

# restrict filenames
--restrict-filenames

# merge output format mkv
--merge-output-format mkv

Nice. And twitter?

Hi,
How do I make pf allow aria2 pass through? I suspect it's pf that is blocking aria2 on one of my old FBSD workstation.

Heres my pf

Doesn't work. In order for aria2 to download via a magnet link, I have to stop pf service.
