Aria2 Integration

Aria2 Downloader integrated with AriaNG

Features:

  1. Replace Firefox's built-in download window directly, no need to click the download button in Firefox's built-in download window first or use the context menu to start a download.
  2. It's able to send Headers (referrer, cookies) to Aria2
  3. Run and Shutdown Aria2c Automatically.

Known Issues:

  1. FTP download is not supported.
  2. Sometimes you will get an error message after you click the download button probably because Aria2c doesn't start completely.
  3. Mozilla doesn't allow us to send the referrer and cookies to the Firefox's built-in download manager.

=====================================================

You need to download and start Aria2 by yourself, complete at least 'Protocol,' 'Host,' 'Port' and 'Interface' in the options page and then click the 'Save' button.

If you don't want to start Aria2 manually, just write a program to start Aria2 in the background and register it to the system's 'autostart' or 'uri scheme.' You can find the sample files here.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. 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.

Aria2 Integration requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Aria2 Integration is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
