I'm interested in using Varia since it has an option for remote however I am not seeing the option, do I need to do something different, I installed from flat hub.

AriaNG allows you to remote control aria

I tried it for a while, but downloads kept stalling and I’d come back hours later to find a corrupt file.

I’ve used other download tools with aria2 as a backend and didn’t have any issues.

Did you find a remote option? What other tools have you used?

I don’t know, I’ve never looked for that function. Just that I’ve used Varia and it was not good.

I use gabut from flathub now, which again uses aria2 backend but does download things reliably.

What do you mean by "option for remote"?

Powerful underneath. Schedule your downloads with a powerful scheduler function. Use basic authentication and import cookies from a file. Enable remote mode to control a remote aria2c instance.

This is what I'd like to do, I'm thinking maybe it's just not in the program yet, but according to the releases it should be.
