Review Summary

Aria2 Explorer is praised as a powerful, lightweight, and user-friendly Chrome extension that integrates well with the Aria2 download manager and frontends like Motrix. It effectively streamlines downloads including torrents and normal files, serving as a robust alternative to other managers. However, users have reported recurring issues such as disabled multi-selection capabilities after updates, connection errors requiring manual restarts, challenges with magnet link interception, limited controls over Aria2's restart, and lack of upload speed display during active downloads and seeding.

Pros

  • Seamless integration with the Aria2 download manager and frontends like Motrix, allowing efficient management of downloads across platforms.
  • Lightweight, powerful, and user-friendly interface that simplifies downloading with many configuration options.
  • Effective replacement for traditional download managers like IDM and qBittorrent, unifying torrent and normal downloads.
  • Internal AriaNG page integration enhances usability, particularly in browsers like Vivaldi.
  • Reliable performance with fast downloads and consistent functionality once set up.

Cons

  • Issues with multi-selection functionality after updates, limiting users to single or full selection only.
  • Problems with interruption errors requiring disconnection or restarting Aria2.
  • Some users experience download interception failures, such as magnet link handling or inability to auto-intercept downloads.
  • Difficulties with restarting Aria2 after closing it via the extension, indicating limited control over the service's lifecycle.
  • Reports of inability to display upload speeds during download and seeding processes.
