Features

Multi-threaded downloads, video support and smart resume — built for speed.

Multi-threaded downloads

1–8 parallel connections with HTTP Range chunking (adaptive by default) saturate high-bandwidth links that curl/wget can't.

Video download

One command for Bilibili, YouTube and more. DASH audio/video tracks are auto-merged into MP4 or MKV — no external tools.

Smart resume

Interrupted downloads are detected automatically and resumed from where they stopped, with segmented metadata.

Batch & multi-task

GUI task list with a 4-slot queue; the CLI runs concurrent batches with -j N.

Cookie & referer support

Read browser login state (Bilibili 720p+), send manual cookies and auto-send Referer to avoid anti-hotlinking 403s.

Free to use

Single-file release builds for Windows and Linux, built with C/C++ and libcurl.
