Steps using linked download folder
----------------------------------
1. as part of configuring aria2 to make life easier you will have set the global **dir** option to something like **/home/aria2/downloads**
2. clearly this folder is owned by the user **aria2**
3. open a shell session logged in as **aria2**
4. run ```ln -s /home/aria2/downloads /var/www/aria2/downloads```
5. go to webui-aria2 in your browser (http://serverip:81 - assuming webui-aria2 is running on port 81)
6. go to ```Settings > Connection Settings```
7. scroll down to Direct Download and put ```http://serverip:81/downloads/``` in base URL field _(make sure have the / on the end)_
8. now that URL has been specified all the files will be converted into clickable links
9. checkout the ```more info``` on a download and see for yourself
10. if you click on files that aren't finished downloading **you're going to have a bad day**
