A full-featured download manager. Originated from Motrix, but thrown the heavy aria2 core away

so how does it actually handle downloads without aria2 under the hood? seems like a pretty big thing to drop, curious what replaced it and whether there's any real difference in speed or reliability.
@baharzlej The original plan was libcurl, but I found it is a massive work to support multi-thread downloading, so the current workaround is using reqwest from crates.io, while adapting the arai2-compatible RPC. That provide fast speed and best compatibility, and without the large bundle from aria2!
how does it handle browser integration compared to motrix, or is it strictly standalone now? curious if it still picks up downloads from chrome automatically
@ayeakbaoluiq66 It is compatible with any aria2 chrome plugin!
how does it actually compare to Motrix performance-wise since you're dropping the aria2 core? like what handles the downloads now
@fahrettinkjjgm I would say they have similar downloading performance, while the memory usage and CPU peak are much smaller, also the bundle size, the current download core use pure rust code, if you mean what that use, its reqwest
the choice to strip out aria2 and start fresh shows real conviction, most forks just pile on features but this feels deliberately trimmed. clean execution.
Love that you kept the clean Motrix feel but ditched the heavy aria2 core. That kind of courage to strip things back instead of piling on features is rare, and it shows in how light the app feels.
