It splits each file into parts for faster downloads, supports pause/resume, queues, a scheduler, speed limits, and mirror fallbacks. Updates are delivered automatically through the Snap Store (the in-app updater is disabled in the snap build). **Features** * **Multi-connection downloads** — each file is split into several parts and downloaded in parallel for higher speed. * **Pause / resume / stop** any download, any time. Incomplete downloads resume after you restart the app. * **Add one or many links** — paste a single URL or many at once (one per line) and send them all to the same folder. * **Clipboard suggestions** — copied a link? The Add dialog offers it automatically; press **Enter** to use it, or just type over it. * **Automatic file names** — leave the name blank and the app detects it from the link or server. * **Queues** — group downloads and control how many run at the same time. * **Scheduler** — start and stop a queue automatically at set times (e.g. download overnight). * **File-type icons** at a glance — video, audio, image, document, archive, app, disc. * **Clear status** — live progress and speed, a friendly reason when something fails, and a details view with per-connection progress. * **Light & dark themes** with a modern ocean-blue look. * **Desktop notifications** when a download completes or fails (uses your OS's native notifications where available). * **Dynamic Island (notch)** — an optional slim pill at the top-center of your screen showing the clock and live download speed; hover it to peek at active downloads without opening the app (Settings → Dynamic Island, off by default). * **System tray** — closing the window keeps downloads running in the background; reopen, mute notifications, or quit from the tray menu. Optionally **launch at startup** (hidden in the tray). * **Automatic update check** — get an in-app prompt when a new version ships, and update with one click. * **Extensible via plugins** — a plugin can turn a link the engine can't grab directly into a real download: the app downloads all the parts and assembles them into one file for you (e.g. **HLS `.m3u8`** streams → a single playable video via the HLS plugin). Multi-part downloads show live "Part 3/10" progress and an "Assembling…" step, and resume where they left off after a restart. * **Download Ollama models** — paste an `ollama.com` link or just type a model name like `gemma3:12b`, download it at full multi-connection speed, then click **Add to Ollama** to install it into your local Ollama in one step (checksum-verified). Ships built-in, together with the **GitHub Releases** plugin (paste `github.com/owner/repo` → get the latest release for your OS). * **Automation-friendly** — add and manage downloads from scripts or the terminal via a local API and CLI (see [Automation]([#automation-local-api--command-line](https://snapcraft.io/downloader#automation-local-api--command-line))). * **Multi-language UI** — English, فارسی (Persian), Español, Français, العربية (Arabic), Esperanto — with full right-to-left layout for Persian/Arabic. Switch under **Settings → App language**. * **No installation, no dependencies** — fully self-contained. You do **not** need to install .NET, FFmpeg, or anything else; just download and run. * **Your settings, your way** — sensible defaults out of the box, saved the moment you change them, with every engine option available under Settings → Advanced. Dialogs are resizable and reopen at the size you left them. --- ## Install downloader on your Linux distribution Choose your Linux distribution to get detailed installation instructions.
