Description

Make sure you are on the latest version by running ani-cli -U

Metadata (please complete the following information) Version: 4.10.4 OS: steam os Shell: bash Anime:

Describe the bug Downloading is broken. It says something about an unsupported protocol, see screenshot.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Run these commands mkdir ~/.aria2c curl -o ~/.aria2c/aria2-1.36.0.tar.bz2 https://github.com/q3aql/aria2-static-builds/releases/download/v1.36.0/aria2-1.36.0-linux-gnu-64bit-build1.tar.bz2 tar xvf ~/.aria2c/aria2-1.36.0.tar.bz2 -C ~/.aria2c/

Expected behavior it should download the tar archive and unzip it, however that's not what's happening. Instead, I get this error message: tar: this does not look like a tar archive bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file tar: child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I tried running head ~/.aria2c/ariat2-1.36.0.tar.bz2 but all I got was "Not Found", which probably means the file doesn't exist.
