- (2021-02-04) Zoltan Grozli: Works very well, but not easy to set it up fully. As the Overview says, this extension captures new download tasks and sends them to aria2 automatically. Aria2 is an ultra fast download utility, but a separate program. It is simple to add this extension to Chrome, but aria2 have to be downloaded, installed and configured also, so that this extension can communicate with it. I don't know how easy to do that on other operating systems, I have Linux Mint 19.2 and it was quite a challenge. Fortunately Tomas, the developer was very helpful and following his extra guidance and researching a bit more on the internet I could finally solve it. Anyhow, I enjoyed the challenge and succeeded at the end. :)
