Description
Downloading files often means juggling tools: the browser for plain links, a torrent client for magnets, and yet another parser for video sites, with tasks easy to lose along the way. Ghost Downloader pulls them into one window: HTTP, magnet, FTP, M3U8, DASH and eD2k are all handled by a single downloader, and every task sits in one list with clear progress and speed.
It also pays attention to real network conditions. Files are split into chunks automatically with no merge step afterwards, it presents real browser TLS fingerprints to cut down on anti bot blocks, and you can swap the URL, headers or proxy mid download without losing progress. For video it parses YouTube and Bilibili, with clip selection, any quality, subtitles, playlists and multi part episodes, and GitHub and HuggingFace files can go through mirror acceleration. The companion browser extension sniffs media on a page and hands it to the desktop app with your login state. It is open source and runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, with every build on the GitHub releases page.
Many protocols: covers HTTP, magnet and BT, FTP, M3U8, MPEG-DASH and eD2k, so one tool replaces several
Smart chunking: splits a task according to your bandwidth, and needs no file merging when it finishes
Video parsing: works with YouTube and Bilibili, with clip selection, any quality, subtitles, playlists and multi part videos
Browser extension: sniffs media on a page, lists every resource in a popup and sends it to the desktop app with your login state
Live stream recording: record a live stream while watching its progress
Change settings mid download: swap the URL, headers or proxy while running and keep what is already downloaded
RPC API: an aria2 compatible RPC lets other tools drive it directly
Feature Packs: add new capabilities through plugins when you need them
