Yaner Download Manager

Yaner is a download manager written in Python 3 and pygobject. Actually it's just a client(or GUI wrapper) for aria2, the famous CLI download utility, which supports HTTP(s), FTP, BitTorrent(including Magnet), and Metalink. Sure, Yaner supports these all.

Still under development and unstable, but won't eat your cat. If you find it doesn't work properly after an update, just try to remove ~/.config/yaner/ and ~/.local/share/yaner/.
