This year, The idea of Persepolis came to Alireza AmirSamimi's mind: Why not having a GUI wrapper for the great aria2 download engine which was only available through prompt wrapper aria2c?
This release, is the very first release available on project repository! By that time, Persepolis was just a simple GUI for aria2. You enter your links, it starts downloading; very simple application with no additional features.
Another important event in developing Persepolis was having its own site online, with special thanks to Sadegh Alirezaie. The site introduces the software and the installation method for various distros.
We are glad to announce that Persepolis can be run on MacOS (tested on Sierra), either with dependecies (like Linux) or completely standalone! The .app package will be available with next release.
By this time, We had released Persepolis 2.3. We've added Chrome integration, queues and more features to Persepolis and made it a better choice for users!
We are glad to announce that Persepolis 2.4 can be run on Windows. In addition to that, many new features are added and several bugs are squished. Also, user interface is improved, too!

I used to download the large files with wget because I can simplyresume the download tasks with -c option. This option will checkthe size of the output file, and download the rest of the file from the server.I can even restart the download task with a different URI. This featureis not available in many sophisticated download managers.
