Built-in Aria2 Downloader

PLM has a built-in Aria2, which is an open-source lightweight downloader with multi-thread downloading capabilities for torrent/http/ftp/magnet links.

PLM can automatically start/stop Aria2, add downloads/manage downloads/select files to download. It also supports direct web management of Aria2. Users need to ensure that the local firewall allows Aria2 to access the network.
