1. requirements

• aria2
• webui-aria2 (download from https://github.com/ziahamza/webui-aria2 )
• python (if you want to use the simplehttpserver)

2. add these shits to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc

aria2c-quit() {

	killall aria2c
	kill $(ps -ef | grep '[h]ttp.server' | awk '{print $2}')
	#kill $(ps -ef | grep '[S]impleHTTPServer' | awk '{print $2}')
	}

aria2c-webui() {

	# download location
	DIR_DL=~/Downloads

	# run as daemon
	aria2c --enable-rpc --rpc-listen-all -D -d "$DIR_DL"


	# use python simplehttpserver to host the webui 
	# this avoids download the index.html file on each computer
	# https://github.com/ziahamza/webui-aria2
	
	# path to the webui index.html
	DIR_WEBUI=~/.binary/webui-aria2/

	# webui-aria2c uses port 6800 so we use 6801 for python_simple_http_server
	PORT=6801
	cd "$DIR_WEBUI"
	nohup python3 -m http.server "$PORT" >/dev/null 2>&1&

	# for older distro
	# nohup python2 -m SimpleHTTPServer "$PORT" >/dev/null 2>&1&
	
	echo "connect via http://localhost:6801 or http://ip_address_of_server:6801"

	}
