Will I be able to resume a download after my browser closes?

Yes, the extension is designed to store queue state and partial data locally. After restarting the browser, you will be able to open the panel and resume from the last completed byte.

Can it handle FTP links as well as HTTP?

It is intended to support HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and FTPS links. The extension will automatically detect the protocol from the URL you paste or intercept.

How will bandwidth caps help other apps stay responsive?

You will be able to set per-download and global speed limits. This will ensure large transfers do not hog your connection, leaving bandwidth for browsing, streaming, or other tasks.

Is there a way to schedule downloads for later?

Yes, a scheduler is being developed to queue URLs and delay the transfer until a specified time. This is expected to be useful for moving large files during off-peak hours.

What information will the download panel show?

The panel is being built to display real-time speed, progress percentage, estimated time remaining, and file size for each transfer. You will be able to sort by any column.

How will drag-and-drop help manage my queue?

You will be able to reorder downloads by dragging items in the panel. This is intended to let you prioritize important files without canceling others.

Will browser downloads be intercepted automatically?

When interception is enabled, the extension is planned to catch browser-initiated downloads and route them through its engine for parallel downloading and resume support.

Does the extension use relay servers for my traffic?

No, it is being designed with zero relay infrastructure. All traffic will flow directly between the source server and your device, with no intermediate hops.

About Net Downloader

Stop waiting for slow, single-stream downloads. Net Downloader breaks files into parallel chunks, leveraging multiple connections to dramatically reduce download times. Whether you're grabbing large software packages, high-resolution media, or critical work files, you'll see a real speed boost.

Automatically detect the right protocol for any URL—HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP—and let Net Downloader optimize the connection. If a server supports range requests, you'll get the full parallel advantage; if not, it still delivers a reliable, managed transfer.

Every download shows real-time speed, progress, and ETA in a sortable panel. You stay in control, and your files arrive faster without complex configuration.

Recent customer feedback

Short, practical feedback from people using Net Downloader in real workflows.

Noticeably faster on large files

I download Linux ISOs and large datasets regularly. Parallel connections cut my transfer times in half compared to the built-in Chrome downloader.

Resume support is rock solid

The resume feature saved me on a 12 GB backup download that failed three times with the default browser. Net Downloader picked up each time without restarting.

Bandwidth controls done right

Being able to cap bandwidth per download means I can pull large files during work hours without killing my video calls. The scheduler is a nice bonus too.
