The ultimate open-source, clean-room download manager written from scratch in pure Rust for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Inspired by IDM (Internet Download Manager). Speeds up every download by fetching parts of the file at the same time, and keeps re-balancing until the last byte. Resumes after a crash, a restart or a dropped connection, without starting over. Catches downloads from Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and Helium (the extension is on Firefox Add-ons and the Chrome Web Store), and gives them back to the browser when MDM isn't running. Downloads videos from web pages (a button appears over the video; playlists, subtitles, the sound alone), image galleries with gallery-dl, and torrents and magnet links (sequential order, RSS feeds, sharing limits). Many links at once: the Link grabber sorts them into packages and extracts the archives (zip, 7z, rar) when they're in. Downloads overnight with queues and a scheduler that can wake the computer, then shuts it down if you like. Through your VPN only, if you want. Control MDM from a phone on your home network, or run it without a window on a NAS (Docker, Unraid). Works from scripts too: IDM's command-line switches, a command-line tool, and a local API for other programs (how). For power users, it supports also a local REST API, and full integration with AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, or VS Code through its built-in MCP server (misterdownloadmanager-mcp.exe), allowing you to list, add, pause, or remove downloads using natural language. It also includes smart bandwidth throttling that adapts when you are actively using your PC, along with Light, Dark, Classic, Native, and High-Contrast themes. Works from the keyboard and with screen readers (Narrator, NVDA): every window, dialog and menu (the keys). No ads, no trial, no account. Free and open source.
