Discover how our Aria2 Download Manager Integration simplifies qBittorrent downloads, enabling faster speeds and reduced download times by splitting files across multiple connections.
Aria2 is an open-source, multi-protocol & multi-source, cross platform download utility. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent and Metalink. Aria2 can be used as a standalone application or can be integrated into other software.
This integration allows connecting qBittorrent, a popular open-source BitTorrent client, to Aria2. When enabled, qBittorrent will pass magnet links, torrent files or HTTP/FTP links to Aria2 for the actual downloading instead of handling the downloads itself. Aria2 is able to split files over multiple connections, allowing for faster overall download speeds.
Benefits of using Aria2 include:
The integration works by having qBittorrent pass .torrent files, magnet links and HTTP/FTP links to a running Aria2 process. Aria2 handles all the underlying downloading while qBittorrent continues to seed files. Configuration allows setting download paths, enabling SSL, remote access and fine tuning performance.
