How does the extension find episodes to download?

It is designed to automatically scan Acast show pages, embedded players, and directory listings for audio. Detected episodes will appear in the toolbar popup with format and size details.

How will the extension handle my offline listening needs?

The extension is being developed to save episodes as standard audio files, so you can listen without streaming on flights, subways, or anywhere connectivity is unreliable.

What file format will downloads use?

Episodes will be saved in the format Acast delivers, which is typically MP3. The extension is planned to save the original stream without any re-encoding or conversion.

Will downloaded files include ads?

Yes, dynamic ads inserted by Acast at the time of download are expected to be included. The saved file will contain whatever ads Acast serves during that request.

Does the extension show download progress?

A progress panel is intended to display transfer speed, file size, and estimated time remaining. This will help you gauge completion at a glance while downloading.

Will I get a notification when downloads finish?

Yes, a desktop notification is planned to appear upon completion, so you can keep working in other tabs without constantly checking the download status.

Does the extension collect any personal data?

No analytics or tracking routines are included. The extension is designed to store only your license key and preferences on your device, with no data sent to external servers.

Use Acast Downloader only for videos you own or have permission to save. Respect the platform and creators, and do not redistribute downloaded videos without the necessary rights.

Lifesaver for my subway commute

I follow several Swedish podcasts that are Acast-hosted. This is the easiest way to grab episodes for offline listening during my daily commute on the underground where there's no signal.

Saved episodes before they went premium

A podcast I listened to moved some older episodes behind Acast+. I downloaded the free episodes I still had access to before more went premium. Extension worked cleanly.

Detected every Acast show I tried

I tested it on five different shows I follow — detected Acast audio on every one. Downloads are fast and the audio quality is as good as streaming. No issues at all.
