Anyone use Varia(aria2)?

I'm interested in using Varia since it has an option for remote however I am not seeing the option, do I need to do something different, I installed from flat hub. Edit Varia has been updated!

AriaNG allows you to remote control aria
What do you mean by "option for remote"?

  Powerful underneath. Schedule your downloads with a powerful scheduler function. Use basic authentication and import cookies from a file. Enable remote mode to control a remote aria2c instance.
  This is what I'd like to do, I'm thinking maybe it's just not in the program yet, but according to the releases it should be.
I tried it for a while, but downloads kept stalling and I’d come back hours later to find a corrupt file.
I’ve used other download tools with aria2 as a backend and didn’t have any issues.
- Did you find a remote option? What other tools have you used?
  
  I don’t know, I’ve never looked for that function. Just that I’ve used Varia and it was not good.
  I use gabut from flathub now, which again uses aria2 backend but does download things reliably.
Haven't had a chance to get back to testing but Varia has been updated twice since then, now I'm seeing the option.
Have you tried reading the manual?
- I could be wrong but there isn't one.
