Mister Download Manager

What is Mister Download Manager?

Mister Download Manager is a free, open-source download manager designed as an alternative to Internet Download Manager. It runs on Windows 10 and 11, with experimental builds available for macOS and Linux. The interface follows a familiar layout with toolbars, categories, and a detailed download list.

The engine supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and FTPS protocols, splitting files across up to 32 connections with dynamic re-splitting and crash-safe resume. It includes built-in support for BitTorrent and magnet links, along with video extraction from web pages using yt-dlp. A browser extension captures links directly from Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and Firefox, preserving cookies and referrer data.

Additional tools include a scheduler for automated queues, a global and per-file speed limiter, checksum verification, and automatic archive extraction. The application offers a command line interface, a local automation API, and an MCP server for integration with AI assistants. It contains no telemetry or ads, and supports over 80 interface languages with right-to-left layouts.
