+ +

+ +Varia is a simple download manager that conforms to the latest Libadwaita design guidelines, integrating nicely with GNOME. It uses the amazing aria2 to handle the downloads. + +

+ + +

+ +Varia supports some basic functionality you'd expect from a download manager such as resuming incomplete downloads upon relaunch, but (right now) doesn't support saving files outside of your default download directory. I want to change this in the future while still having a minimal set of permissions with Flatpak. + +## License + +Varia is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. + +But, it also application relies on the following pieces of software: - aria2: GPL v2 License (aria2 itself relies on OpenSSL: OpenSSL License) - aria2p: ISC License The licenses of all of these pieces of software can be found in the dependencies_information directory in this application's app directory. + +## Contributing + +Contributions are always welcome, of course! I have not set up translations yet, and this time I want to utilize the .po files to do it. I will update this section once that is in. + +Also, I really want to change the logo as it's something I hastly hacked together in Krita. If you can make a logo that conforms to the GNOME logo design guidelines, that would be amazing! + +## The name + +The name "Varia" comes from the aria2 software it is based on, and I added a "V" to make it "Varia". In the Metroid series of games, there is a special suit you eventually get named a "Varia Suit" with its main feature being allowing Samus to withstand extreme temperatures. I spent some time thinking about how to connect the Varia Suit to my app, but couldn't, soooo... I think it just sounds cool.
