Features

Everything a Download Needs

  • Up to 16× connections

    Splits each file into parts and downloads them at once; finished parts help the slow ones.

  • Pause and resume anytime

    Survives restarts, crashes and dropped Wi-Fi; checks the file is unchanged before continuing.

  • Video and audio

    MP4 up to 4K, MKV, or MP3/M4A audio from thousands of sites, including whole playlists, with subtitles, chapters and cover art.

  • Works with Chrome and Edge

    Captures downloads, adds “Download with BDM” to the right-click menu, and shows a download button on videos.

  • Live speed meters

    LED bars on every download, and a digital readout with the peak speed in each download’s window.

  • Queues and schedules

    Run downloads overnight, by priority, on chosen days, then sleep or shut down the PC.

  • Speed limits

    For all downloads or just one, changed instantly.

  • Batch downloads

    Numbered patterns like photo[01-50].jpg, pasted lists or a .txt file.

  • Virus scan

    Each finished file is checked by Microsoft Defender.

  • Disk-space guard

    Checks free space before starting and pauses before the drive fills.

  • Refresh expired links

    Continue an unfinished download from a new link to the same file.

  • Tray and clipboard

    Keeps running in the tray and offers to download links you copy.

Privacy and safety

Yours, and Safe by Default

  • No accounts, no tracking

    No telemetry, analytics or ads. Your download list stays on your PC.

  • Safe by default

    Blocks downloads aimed at your own PC or local network, never downgrades HTTPS, and marks downloaded files so Windows checks them before opening.

  • Respects creators

    DRM-protected media is refused. Download only content you have the right to download.
