Risuko
Cross-platform desktop downloader built with Tauri
Motrix, the downloader that everyone loved, has been discontinued and left unmaintained for 3 years, and given that the upstream core aria2c has also not been updated for a while, I decided to rewrite everything - including the core, with rust, giving it a second life...
how does it actually compare to Motrix performance-wise since you're dropping the aria2 core? like what handles the downloads now
Love that you kept the clean Motrix feel but ditched the heavy aria2 core. That kind of courage to strip things back instead of piling on features is rare, and it shows in how light the app feels.
how does it handle browser integration compared to motrix, or is it strictly standalone now? curious if it still picks up downloads from chrome automatically
so how does it actually handle downloads without aria2 under the hood? seems like a pretty big thing to drop, curious what replaced it and whether there's any real difference in speed or reliability.
the choice to strip out aria2 and start fresh shows real conviction, most forks just pile on features but this feels deliberately trimmed. clean execution.
