HTOP-like interface

[pawamoy]

It would be great to provide a HTOP-like interface for showing the current downloads and the progress. Global graph for dl/up speed, collapsable graphs for each dl, sortable columns, customization with config file (columns and their order, colors), support for mouse and keys, etc.

Work in progress 😄

Added in version 0.4.0. Still in beta, lots of things to do, but functional 🙂

todo

• Tests ⚠️
• Catch exceptions and log them
• Status bar at bottom, displaying F1-F12 keys
• Chart on top, displaying average upload/download speed recent history
• Expandable/collapsible rows, displaying ul/dl chart and files (needs thinking). Maybe something way simpler would be to add another view for download details, with custom actions, etc.
• Add ability to change options (new menu? shortcuts? commands starting with :?)
• Warn about switching to top command by default when aria2p is called without args, starting at version... 0.7.0 0.6.0, two minors after the first release of the interface.

Hi @mnabila! Could you describe the way you'd like to add downloads from the TUI? I think one of the simplest way to implement this would be to add a key that would read the clipboard and add the filepaths/magnets/URLs as downloads.

[mnabila]

for first implementation it's ok, but on next update or release i hope imporeved again for to better experience like bulk download from list url and others using TUI
XD

--sory if my english bad

Well if we take the contents of the clipboard as a list of lines it's totally possible 🙂. Each line could be a URI, magnet, or filepath to a torrent/metalink.
