Will the torrent client add support for Aria2?

[JoJenH]

Description

Hello,
I really love this application, especially its integration features. However, I'm a bit confused about the widgets and integrations. It seems that I need to create an app and configure integrations to display widgets. Of course, I will explore this issue on my own since it's my first day using Homarr. But there's another question: Can the torrent client add support for Aria2? Aria2 is a highly popular downloading tool. I understand that developers contribute voluntarily, so you are free to reject my request if it wasn't well thought out. However, I believe that Homarr would become even better with Aria2 support, and it would give me another reason to love Homarr.

Hi, thanks for your request. We'll evaluate whether it makes sense to implement this.
We are currently quite busy with other updates, so this might take some time.
Thanks for your understanding.

@JoJenH There are no plans to add new torrent clients at the moment. We rely on a set of libraries by @scttcper (sorry for the ping but again, thank you so much for these!) to simply implement communication with famous torrent client. It would take us too much time to implement our own version for Aria2 and we don't think the time that would take it worth it.

我希望chatGPT也能翻译这个哈哈哈哈哈哈 并且你能理解我的决定

I've honestly never heard of Aria2 is there a web api?

edit - mmm its more of a download client. i dunno, maybe

[JoJenH]

Maybe,some WebUI use it,such as AriaNG.
By ChatGPT:
Certainly! Yes, AriaNg utilizes the JSON-RPC (JSON Remote Procedure Call) protocol to communicate with Aria2. JSON-RPC is a remote procedure call protocol based on the JSON format. It allows client applications to communicate with servers by sending JSON-formatted requests and receiving JSON-formatted responses.

AriaNg encapsulates specific commands and parameters into requests that adhere to the JSON-RPC specification and sends them to Aria2. Aria2 parses the requests, performs the corresponding operations, and returns the results as JSON-formatted responses to AriaNg.

By utilizing JSON-RPC, AriaNg can conveniently communicate with Aria2 and achieve the management and control of download tasks.

Not sure if you're aware but homarr has been re-wrote completely and released under v1.0 recently. If you write the way it was done for the other integrations it shouldn't be too hard to port it over

I just do it recently since 1 day ago

[hotrungnhan]

But i don’t know how to write the document for the changes, also don’t know the way to add the icons. Can you help me briefly all the step to do?
