A premium, high-speed download manager for Raycast powered by aria2. Download files, torrents, and magnet links with multi-connection acceleration.
Easily queue new downloads by pasting URLs. Customize the save directory, number of connection splits, and configure advanced Curl-style options like custom User-Agents, Cookies, Referers, or proxy servers.
Monitor and manage your download queue in a unified list. View download speeds, progress percentages, file sizes, and estimated times of arrival (ETA) at a glance.
Drill down into any active download to see a live piece-map grid, visualizing exactly which chunks have been downloaded in real-time as reported by the underlying engine.
Load local .torrent files directly from Finder. The extension automatically detects your selected file in Finder and pre-fills the path for quick queueing.
