Description Schimon Jehudah 2025-06-25 09:17:07 UTC

Handle downloads with aria2.

1. This would allow for more modularity;

2. More added protocols and filetypes, such as BitTorrent and Metalink; and

3. Provided that other projects, such as Otter Browser, QuteBrowser, etc. be interested to use aria2, then this could help with implementing a PassKey mechanism which currently is not available for Falkon.

As aria2 has packages in ECMAScript and Python, it should be easy to incorporate with Falkon as an extension, for start.

* python3-aria2jsonrpc: A wrapper class around Aria2’s JSON RPC interface.
* aria2.js: JavaScript library and cli for aria2 RPC.
