If they add a "--download-over-tor" flag[1] this would be awesome.
[1]: Yes we all know that it's not a good idea to download torrents and other large content over tor (for various technical and non-technical reasons) but it'd sure be convenient!
I've looked into this in the past and was not successful. `torify` doesn't work and aria2 doesn't have any option for configuring a SOCKS5 proxy. There's been quite a bit of discussion about this.[0]
A cursory search shows some people have recently found success with `--async-dns=false`[1]. Doesn't work for me, but maybe I'll try with the latest release and see if that changes things.
I eventually got aria2c to work over TOR with ProxyChains, but it's really not a fun process.
Haven't heard of torify before but it looks cool. Does the app being invoked by it have to be able to use a SOCKS proxy or does it auto wrap all socket connections?
