What is Apex Download Manager?

Apex Download Manager speeds up downloads by splitting each file across up to 32 parallel connections. When one connection finishes early it takes over part of a slower one, so a download does not stall on its last few megabytes. Downloads pause and resume across restarts and network drops, and resumes are checked against the server so a changed file is not silently stitched together.

A browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox hands downloads over to Apex, including ones behind a sign-in, and gives them back to the browser if Apex is not running. The extension cannot read the pages you visit.

Also included: a download queue with a concurrency limit, global and per-download speed limits, an off-peak bandwidth scheduler, proxy support, a clipboard watcher, SHA-256 checksum verification, and a video grabber built on yt-dlp. Finished files keep the Windows Mark of the Web, so SmartScreen and Defender still scan them.

No account, no ads, no telemetry. Free and open source under the GPL v3.
