failed to connect to aria2

I'll be honest I've never really build stuff before and I'm probably doing something wrong. I saw that \YoutubeDownloader-master\YoutubeApp\Downloader\Aria2.cs looks to the executable in ./utils/aria2c.exe so I added a utils folder to \YoutubeDownloader-master\YoutubeApp\utils containing aria2c.exe. After that didn't work I ran aria manually with the command aria2c.exe -k 1M -j 1 --allow-overwrite=true --disable-ipv6 --allow-piece-length-change=true --enable-rpc --rpc-listen-port=6888 but that still gives me the same error
The utils folder should be placed next to the final built file:
YoutubeApp/bin/Release/net8.0/
|-- YoutubeApp.exe
|-- utils/
| |-- aria2c.exe
| |-- ffmpeg.exe
| |-- yt-dlp.exe
After having placed the aria2c executable into YoutubeDownloader-master\YoutubeApp\bin\Release\net8.0\utils along with ffmpeg.exe and yt-dlp.exe.
The reprogram not longer showed an error message after starting however, attempting to download videos would result the video to show 1 Error(s) in the grabber list. After running ffmpeg in the utils folder from cmd it complained about not being to find some files in ../lib, so I added the lib folder from chocolatey (where I got yt-dlp and ffmpeg), after that both ffmpeg and yt-dlp worked prompting the url when ran.
This hasn't solved the issue either, when attempting to download the grabber list shows Fetching... 1/1 followed by Finished 1/1 1 Error(s).
After deleting the log files from the debug folder, and running the release version as administrator it mysteriously works now. I am no longer able to recreate the issue. It might have been me not realising that clicking the x button leaves a background process running.
