Aether

About

The download manager Chrome should have shipped with. Aether replaces the cramped download shelf with a calm, powerful side panel — then quietly accelerates your downloads, captures torrents and video, and files everything exactly where it belongs. No accounts. No tracking. Everything stays on your device.

⚡ Accelerated downloads
Large files are split across multiple parallel connections and reassembled on the fly — saturating your bandwidth instead of trickling through a single stream. Live speed, ETA, and per-segment progress, with tunable bandwidth profiles. No external client to install.

🗂️ A side panel, not a shelf
Everything in one calm, always-there panel:

Active — live progress, speed, and ETA
History — every download, searchable
Insights — what you grab, how fast, from where
Rules — automatic organization
Settings — providers, servers, preferences
Pause, resume, retry, and open files inline — without ever blocking the page you're reading.

🧲 Debrid & torrents, done right
Aether spots magnets and info-hashes on any page and hands them to your debrid service — with instant-cache badges so you know what streams now.

Works with Real-Debrid · TorBox · Premiumize · AllDebrid · RDT Client
One-click and batch sending
Automatic category routing
No torrent client, no seeding, no waiting
📰 Usenet, in a click
Found an NZB? Send it straight to your SABnzbd server with the right category already applied. Your downloader does the heavy lifting; Aether keeps you in the browser.

🎬 Capture any video — on your device
Aether sniffs HLS and DASH streams as they play, lets you pick a quality, and muxes the result locally with on-device ffmpeg (WebAssembly). Nothing is ever uploaded — the file is built right in your browser.

🌐 Page media harvester
Scan the current tab for every image, audio file, and video, filter by type, and grab them in bulk. Perfect for galleries and asset-heavy pages.

📐 Smart rules that file themselves
Define a rule once and every download lands in the right folder with the right name. Aether rewrites filenames the moment Chrome decides them — so your downloads folder stays immaculate.

📊 Insights that never leave your device
See your trends, totals, and sources — rendered entirely from data stored only on your machine.

🔒 Private by design
Most download tools treat your activity as data to harvest. Aether takes the opposite stance:

Stored on your device — settings, history, and insights live in your browser
No accounts, no telemetry — nothing to sign up for, nothing phoning home
Only the calls you ask for — network requests happen when you send a magnet or NZB, never otherwise
Add Aether and take back control of every file — accelerated, organized, and private.
