I think I would recommend http://ariang.mayswind.net/ https://github.com/mayswind/AriaNg which is a web interface to https://aria2.github.io/
You must have a new enough aria2 that has the --rpc-allow-origin-all option: aria2c --enable-rpc --rpc-allow-origin-all.

If you are super fit, ignore me. I am not. You might reconsider the lazy way. I use occasions like this to get me out of my seat. Consequently I go up and down a very steep set of stairs about 30 times a day. That can’t be bad for me.
You're lazy enough to be willing to buy a windows laptop to put in a room to check the download status of a computer in another room?
How abut ssh from termux installed on your phone?
I wrote an sse http server for that exact reason, that you can pipe data into from a posix terminal
Use the Twitter API to send yourself a private message every 5% completion.
I use Transmission, which has a web interface for this.
Thoughts? App suggestions? Scripts? Mac, Linux, and/or cross-platform suggestions all welcome.
In fact, I’m lazy enough to be willing to get an Android phone and/or Windows laptop. Really, pretty much any combo that would allow me to take quick glances at the download status.
