Consider the following scenarios:
|
|
|
|
1. aria2 is running on a computer that is not locally accessible via the LAN and the files need to be copied from remote aria2 computer to the local computer
|
|
2. aria2 is running locally somewhere and setting up samba/nfs/etc is "meh"
|
|
|
|
HTTP to the rescue, already in the browser right?
|
|
|
|
Simplest way is to use python to setup a http server.
|
|
|
|
Steps
|
|
-----
|
|
1. as part of configuring aria2 to make life easier you will have set the global **dir** option to something like **/home/aria2/downloads**
|
|
2. clearly this folder is owned by the user **aria2**
|
|
3. open a shell session logged in as **aria2**
|
|
4. run ```cd /home/aria2/downloads```
|
|
5. run ```python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080```
|
|
6. webserver is now running on port 8080 and will serve files from the directory the command was run in
|
|
7. to test open up http://serverip:8080 - should get a directory listing. any browser errors and something hasn't been done properly, check IP/PORT etc
|
|
8. go back to webui-aria2
|
|
9. go to ```Settings > Connection Settings```
|
|
10. scroll down to Direct Download and put ```http://serverip:8080/``` in base URL field _(make sure have the / on the end)_
|
|
11. now that URL has been specified all the files will be converted into clickable links
|
|
13. checkout the ```more info``` on a download and see for yourself
|
|
14. if you click on files that aren't finished downloading ```you're going to have a bad day``
