Is it available to edit the options of the download manager?

I think some of the default options of flashgot, say, aria2, might not be the best, therefore I want to edit some. Can I do that?
Aria2 is updated, therefore it does not act as before. See the usage, and you will get:
As of 1.10.0 release, aria2 uses 1 connection per host by default and has 20MiB segment size restriction. So whatever value you specify using -s option, it uses 1 connection per host. Please note that this connection restriction is applied to 1 host. If you specify multiple hosts, aria2 will use them all and open multiple connections. To make it behave like 1.9.x, use -x16 -k1M. See --max-connection-per-server and --min-split-size in the manual page.

No, it's currently not possible, but thanks for the idea.
Maybe a generic [CUSTOM] placeholder which gets replaced by custom arguments provided in an
about:config preference like "flashgot.dmsopts.DOWNLOADER_NAME.customArgs" (in your case would be
flashgot.dmsopts.aria2.customArgs=-x16 -k1M).
In the meanwhile you may try to hack the code directly (it's in the DMS.js file).

It seems that the preference stated doesn't work.
Even if I change "aria2" to "Aria_2", it doesn't work, either.

In facts, the preference doesn't exist yet. It was just a brainstorming for a future release. Hacking DMS.js is the only option ATM, but I'm putting this feature in my TODO list.
