Photon: A Multi-threaded Download Tool Based on aria2

Photon is a multi-threaded download software based on aria2, supporting HTTP/HTTPS, magnet links, BT, and Metalink downloads. Photon currently supports macOS and Windows platforms, with Linux system support coming soon.

Installation

Photon currently supports macOS and Windows platforms. You can download the corresponding version from https://github.com/alanzhangzm/Photon/releases for installation.

User Experience

Photon features a very clean interface and requires almost no configuration to use. By default, downloaded files are saved to the Windows default download directory, but you can select other directories in the "Settings" option.

Summary

Photon is essentially a pre-packaged aria2, eliminating the hassle of manual configuration. However, it does not yet support the Linux system. For users with significant download needs on Linux, you can try my CCAA one-click script: CentOS 7 One-click Installation of Caddy + Aria2 + AriaNg for Offline Downloads.

If you are on Windows, download software such as IDM, FDM, and EagleGet are also worth trying, though each has its pros and cons. Ultimately, the best choice is the one that suits your needs.
