Magnet Manager Quick Start

From install to pushing your first magnet link takes about 5 minutes. This guide covers 115 cloud offline download and aria2 downloader (NAS / Synology / Tailscale) setups.

1. Install the Chrome extension and activate your license

  1. Open Magnet Manager on the Chrome Web Store and click Install.
  2. After installation, click the extension icon in the Chrome toolbar to open the popup.
  3. Enter your email to claim a 7-day full-feature trial license; if you already purchased one, enter your license key directly on the settings page.

Note: Magnet Manager is a browser-side tool. It only detects download links that already exist on the page when you actively trigger it. It does not provide resource search, content indexing, file hosting, or distribution services.

2. Configure aria2 RPC (optional)

If you only need 115 cloud offline download, you can skip this step. If you want Magnet Manager to fall back to your home downloader when 115 cannot take the task, or send links directly to your NAS, configure aria2 RPC.

  1. Install aria2 on your home computer, Synology NAS, or Raspberry Pi, and enable JSON-RPC. Choose the startup command based on whether the browser and aria2 run on the same machine:

    1) Local machine (browser and aria2 on the same machine)

    aria2c --enable-rpc --rpc-listen-port=6800 --rpc-secret=YOUR_SECRET

    2) NAS / remote / Tailscale (browser on another machine)

    aria2c --enable-rpc --rpc-listen-all --rpc-allow-origin-all --rpc-listen-port=6800 --rpc-secret=YOUR_SECRET

    Security note: --rpc-listen-all makes the RPC interface listen on all network interfaces. Only use it on a trusted LAN, Tailscale private network, or behind an HTTPS reverse proxy. Never expose aria2 RPC directly to the public internet.

  2. Open Magnet Manager → Settings → aria2 RPC.
  3. Fill in the endpoint, for example:
    • Local machine: http://localhost:6800/jsonrpc
    • Synology on LAN: http://192.168.1.100:6800/jsonrpc
    • Tailscale: http://100.x.x.x:6800/jsonrpc
    • HTTPS reverse proxy: https://aria2.yourdomain.com/jsonrpc
  4. Enter the RPC secret and click Test Connection. Save once it succeeds.

Security tip: Do not expose aria2 RPC directly to the public internet. Only use --rpc-listen-all on a trusted LAN, Tailscale private network, or behind an HTTPS reverse proxy. Prefer Tailscale, a LAN address, or an HTTPS reverse proxy with a strong secret.

3. Push your first magnet link

  1. Find a magnet link on a forum or resource site.
  2. Hover over the link and click the "offline" button that appears; or right-click selected text and choose "Send to Magnet Manager".
  3. The extension will first try 115 cloud offline download. If 115 accepts it, the task enters the 115 queue.
  4. If 115 rejects it or you disabled 115 relay, the extension pushes the original link to your aria2 downloader as a BT task.

You can also click "Scan current page" in the popup, or paste multiple lines of links into the popup, preview them, and batch push.

4. Check task status
