AriaNg for Chrome

A Chrome extension that bridges Aria2 and browser downloading experience with UI powered by AriaNg

While this project provides a user-friendly GUI that works seamlessly with the Chrome downloading experience, please note that all credits should go to the contributors from the original repositories (see badges above).

Apart from the features brought by the original programs, this repository introduces only enough changes that glue those awesome tools together so it works as a Chrome extension properly. The extension is shipped in a ready-to-use fashion for consumers who just want things to work without all the hassle.

Inherited from its dependencies, this program comes with no warranty and you should use it at your own risk.

How to use

• Ensure you have Aria2 installed and configured

• Download AriaNg-for-Chrome.rar in the latest release and unzip it in the directory of your choice

• Load the unzipped folder AriaNg-for-Chrome as an unpacked Chrome extention via Chrome menu > More tools > Extensions > Load unpacked, and you are all set

• [Optional] If you have a secret token for your Aria2 RPC, you may still need to config it after the installation

  • For AriaNg for Chrome Settings, right-click the extension and click Options
    • HTTP with token: http://token:xxxx@localhost:6800/jsonrpc
  • For AriaNg Settings, click into the extension and select AriaNg Settings in the left panel
    • Websocket: ws://localhost:6800/jsonrpc

• [Optional] If you want to make the most out of the extention for resources from 百度网盘, 阿里云盘, 天翼云盘 and 迅雷云盘, 网盘直链下载助手 is a good addition
