I'm interested in using Varia since it has an option for remote however I am not seeing the option, do I need to do something different, I installed from flat hub.

AriaNG allows you to remote control aria

I tried it for a while, but downloads kept stalling and I’d come back hours later to find a corrupt file.

I’ve used other download tools with aria2 as a backend and didn’t have any issues.

Did you find a remote option? What other tools have you used?

[-] BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 day ago

I don’t know, I’ve never looked for that function. Just that I’ve used Varia and it was not good.

I use gabut from flathub now, which again uses aria2 backend but does download things reliably.

What do you mean by "option for remote"?

Powerful underneath. Schedule your downloads with a powerful scheduler function. Use basic authentication and import cookies from a file. Enable remote mode to control a remote aria2c instance.

This is what I'd like to do, I'm thinking maybe it's just not in the program yet, but according to the releases it should be.

Have you tried reading the manual?

I could be wrong but there isn't one.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
