## What it is
Aria2 Explorer is a Chromium browser extension that exports and auto-captures browser download tasks to the Aria2 download utility via its RPC interface. It bundles an enhanced AriaNG frontend for managing downloads, including BT/torrent and magnet link support.

## Use cases
- capture browser downloads and send them to aria2
- download torrents and magnet links in the browser
- manage aria2 download tasks from a browser popup
- batch export media and magnet links from a webpage
- route downloads to different aria2 RPC servers by URL pattern
- monitor aria2 download progress from the browser toolbar

## When to avoid
- you want a standalone download manager without running aria2 separately
- you use a non-Chromium browser without extension support
- you only need simple downloads the browser already handles well
