GoBarryGo wraps aria2c in a native desktop shell built with Go and React 19. No Electron. No bloat. Just fast, parallel downloads.
Direct download links for v0.0.7. Pick the package that fits your system.
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch…
Copy-paste and go. Works on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, macOS, and Windows (Git Bash).
aria2c is bundled — release binaries include aria2c so you don't need to install it separately.
If you prefer your own copy, GoBarryGo will use the system aria2c from PATH when available.
A thin, fast control layer over aria2c. Every feature earns its place.
Multi-connection downloads with configurable split count and connections per server.
Survives crashes, reboots, and network drops. Session recovery picks up where it left off.
Live speed, ETA, progress bars, and per-file inspection for multi-file downloads.
AppImage on Linux, .app on macOS, portable .exe on Windows. Drop it anywhere and run.
Tune concurrent downloads, split size, allocation strategy, user-agent, and more from the UI.
Zero telemetry, zero tracking, zero cloud. Everything local. Fully open source under MIT.
GoBarryGo manages aria2c via JSON-RPC — a native GUI without learning CLI flags.
Download for your OS or use the terminal commands above.
Open Preferences and pick your aria2c binary. The RPC server starts automatically.
Hit "Add download", paste URLs, and watch parallel splits fill your progress bars.
All settings live in the Preferences dialog. Config is a JSON file you can back up or share.
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| concurrent | Max parallel downloads | 4 |
| split | Segments per file | 8 |
| connections | Connections per server | 8 |
| min-split-size | Minimum segment size | 4M |
| file-allocation | Prealloc, falloc, trunc, none | prealloc |
