What is DownMan?

Key Features

  • Multi-Protocol Download Acceleration (aria2):

  • Multi-connection HTTP/HTTPS and FTP downloads (up to 16 splits per server).

  • Full BitTorrent and Magnet link handling.

  • Metalink and multi-mirror support with automatic retry handling.

  • Smart Media & Video Capture (yt-dlp & ffmpeg):

  • Auto-extracts media from 1,800+ supported websites.

  • One-click media capture overlay on browser video players (tracks Blob, MSE, and HLS/DASH streams).

  • Automatic video/audio merging and stream conversion via ffmpeg.

  • Reusable media profiles (codecs, resolutions, subtitles, audio extraction, SponsorBlock, and clip ranges).

  • Seamless Browser Companion Bridge:

  • Native extensions for Firefox (AMO signed) and Chrome/Chromium (Manifest V3).

  • One-click automatic interception of configured file types (ZIP, ISO, EXE, etc.).

  • Ephemeral Authenticated Takeover: Safely captures credentialed browser downloads in memory without storing session tokens, cookies, or authorization headers on disk or in logs.

  • Site Grabs & Batch Crawling:

  • Download whole-page image galleries and media collections.

  • Captures rendered DOM resources without triggering redundant secondary server crawls.

  • Hierarchical tree view by crawl session with intelligent rate-limit backoff handling (429 / 503).

  • Channels, Playlists & Subscriptions:

  • Inspect large channels and playlists in bounded pages.

  • Subscribed channels/playlists automatically poll into a Review Inbox with duplicate skipping.

  • Export collections directly to M3U playlists.

  • Queue Management & Automation:

  • Granular queue controls: pause, resume, and schedule download windows.

  • Automated checksum verification (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512).

  • Auto-categorizes completed downloads into dedicated folders (Video, Audio, Images, Documents, Archives, Other).

  • Per-download post-completion actions (run custom command, reveal in folder, open file).
