Fast, resumable downloads and one-click video grabbing — right from your browser.

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.
Note
As of 2026 XDM is being rebuilt and is in active development.
