# Photon

*Photon* is a lightweight multi-threaded downloader based on [aria2](https://github.com/aria2/aria2). It supports **HTTP/HTTPS**, **Magnet links**, **BitTorrent** and **Metalink**.

*Photon* is cross platform. It has **macOS** and **Windows** releases now and will have Linux release soon.

For Web frontend of aria2, please have a look at [*Photon WebUI*](https://github.com/alanzhangzm/Photon-WebUI).

- Host: 127.0.0.1

- Port: 6800
