How to install & configuration Aria2 downloader

Hi friends, Today I want Install Aria2 Downloader in BT Home Hub 5A but , After Install packsges USB & pakages Aria2 downloader.when I paste Url in to the Aria2 Downloader, File Doesn,t download in the USB.
In Aria2 Downloader write : Download was succedfull in red box & Size Of the File is 0KB ., I ,m Noob.
Please explain to me from the beginning to the end if possible. Preferably if possible with a picture.
Thank you very much for your help.

did you change the destination path for your DLds ?
is the USB storage device mounted ?

Sorry, I do not understand what you mean. Can you explain more? Yes, I mounted my flash.

/Mnt/sd1/download

Can you explain from the beginning the configuration required for the flash to the end, exactly what packages should I install and then how to configure them?

What is Dlds?

Linux is case sensitive, mnt isn't the same as Mnt, and it's usually mnt.

DLds = downloads.

Now I want Download Music But Doesn,t Work

/mnt/usb/download <> /mnt/sd1/download


Will these images help solve my problem?

is there a /mnt/usb/aria2 dir (again case sensitive) on the storage device ?

since you're logging your aria2 activity, what does the log say.


None Log !







well, the link works in aria, I just tried it, so it's something with your paths and permissions.

When I change the destination of the file to / tmp and I do not use Flash, it still does not work? Please explain to me the steps you have taken to set up Aria correctly. Thank you

I installed the packages, changed the path to /tmp, it worked instantly.

Using 21.02.2 btw.

That might not work, if the space's there.

My OpenWrt Ver : 19.07.8

try adding chmod 777 /mnt/usb to your local start up script, preceding the exit 0,
line hopefully the permission issue will be solved.

reboot afterwards.

Hello, could it be because you entered this code? Because I saw this from a video on YouTube and then I imported it. But tonight, after deleting parts of this code and moving on with other parts, I managed to fix it, and I really thank you for your help, dear friend.

I put this code in the startup section :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.
aria2c --enable-rpc --rpc-listen-all --allow-overwrite=true --auto-file-renaming=false --continue=true --dir=/mnt/samba/download --max-connection-per-server=4 --max-concurrent-downloads=1 --max-resume-failure-tries=10 --daemon
exit 0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
