Xtreme Download Manager (XDM) speeds up downloads by splitting them across multiple connections, saves videos from streaming sites, and picks up broken downloads exactly where they left off. A companion browser extension hands downloads and detected videos straight to the app, so you never have to copy a link by hand.
Wondering why you'd still want a download manager on a fast connection? Read Why use a download manager in an age of fast internet?
Note
As of 2026 XDM is being rebuilt and is in active development.
