Aria2 creats a “.aria2” file for each object it downloading. It can be used to resume the download if necessary.

The .aria2 file is a binary file and need to be decoded to magnet link.

There are two ways to resolve it.

1. Via online service

• By @alphatr
• aria2 reader

2. Via a Python command

• By @smasterfree
• aria control file parser

Note: This “.aria2” file will be removed if the download complete success.
