Did you open the right ports?

http://aria2.sourceforge.net/manual/en/html/aria2c.html#files

According to the sample configs you would need to add this to the /jffs/scripts/firewall-start script:

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 60000 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --destination-port 60000 -j ACCEPT

Change 60000 to what ever port you specified in the Aria2 config file.

Using Aria2 download manager

Prerequisites
asuswrt-merlin firmware on board and a USB drive with an Entware installation.

1. Installation
Install aria2 package:

opkg install aria2

2.Configuration
Edit /opt/etc/aria.conf file, at least, two lines must be changed:

dir=/opt/var/aria2/torrents
…
rpc-secret=Passw0rd

The first one is a folder where torrent content will be placed, the second one is a web-interface password.

Now, create /jffs/scripts/firewall-start file with the following content:

#!/bin/sh
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 6800:6801 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 6801 -j ACCEPT

and make it executable:

chmod +x /jffs/scripts/firewall-start

That's all, reboot router and pick one of web interfaces.

3. Using web interface.
You don't need to place WebUI files into router, pick webui-aria2 or yaaw. I prefer the last one. Configure WebUI with following string:

http://token:[COLOR="Red"]Passw0rd[/COLOR]@[COLOR="Red"]111.222.111.222[/COLOR]:6800/jsonrpc

where "Passw0rd" is a keyword from /opt/etc/aria.conf file and "111.222.111.222" is an IP address of the router.

Pro:

• Supports HTTP(S), FTP, BitTorrent, and Metalink.
• Small and fast, easy to use.
• Do not requires a web server for WebUI.

Contra:

• uTP is not supported.
• no day/night scheduler.

Securing connection between aria2 and browser

This is an option part.

While using WebUI, our browser is "talking" with Aria2 via HTTP protocol. There is a way to secure this connection by using HTTPS.

1. Create certificate
openssl utility comes form asuswrt-merlin firmware. Please, leave "Password" field empty when it's prompted:

cd /opt/var/aria2
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout aria2.pem -out aria2.pem
openssl pkcs12 -export -out aria2.pfx -in aria2.pem -name "Aria2 Certificate"

2. Edit Aria2 configuration file
Uncomment following lines in /opt/etc/aria2.conf:

rpc-certificate=/opt/var/aria2/aria2.pfx
rpc-secure=true

3. Edit WebUI settings
Reboot router or restart Aria2 manually:

/opt/etc/init.d/S81aria2 restart

If you are using yaaw, edit connection string by adding "s" after "http":

http[COLOR="Red"]s[/COLOR]://token:Passw0rd@111.222.111.222:6800/jsonrpc

PS Firefox denies to use self-signed certificate, you have to add it to the trusted list. Point browser to

https://111.222.111.222:6800/jsonrpc

and click "add this site to trusted, permanently".
