Find all page links and send multiple links to this download manager

Features:

HTTP Proxy authentication support
Download files through HTTP(S)/FTP/SFTP/BitTorrent

Persistent Connections support

Notes:

You need to have aria2 command-line downloader installed on the operating system. This extension just integrates this downloader to your browser
For integration, you will be asked to install a small NodeJS native client. This step is mandatory as the extension itself cannot execute OS level commands.
Like aria2 itself, this program comes with no warranty. You must use this program at your own risk.

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Download with Aria2 Download Manager requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
