After reading your descriptions, I think maybe you did not configure the extension correctly.

If your are not familiar with aria2, please follow the instructions below:

First, download aria2 utility.
Second, run it in the terminal (or cmd) with typing aria2c --enable-rpc.
Third, enable auto-capture on the extension options page. The extension will then take over the download leading you to a high-speed download experience.

Sorry, I completely missed the instructions at the top of the page. I assumed aria2c was bundled in the extension. Everything works fine now, thank you.
