About WebUI

WebUI-Aria2 is a web interface for controlling the aria2 download manager. It connects to aria2 running in the background on a local or remote machine with RPC enabled.

It can be used by opening index.html from the docs folder, through the hosted page that remains available offline after the first visit, or with a Node.js server or Docker. It supports choosing individual files within torrent and metalink downloads and downloading completed files from the dashboard when DirectURL is configured with an HTTP server. Use requires a separate aria2 installation and configuration.
