- ⚡ Adaptive Multi-Threaded Engine: Parallel chunked downloads with dynamic concurrency scaling and manual thread-locking.

.zip,.rar,.7z,.tar,.gz,.bz2,.xz,.zst, and multi-part volumes (.part01.rar,.7z.001) via a bundled7zaengine with pre-flight disk safety checks, optional archive cleanup, and password extraction. - 🔄 Smart In-App Updater & Standalone Companion (
updater.exe): Automatic update alerts on launch with release notes preview and a dedicated standalone companion updater for zero-lock binary updates, seamless extraction, and instant restart. - 🌐 Full 14-Language Localization (i18n): Instant in-app language switching and real-time dynamically translated console activity logs (English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Portuguese, and more).
- 🔓 Built-in Cloud Decryptor: Downloads and decrypts entire Mega folders directly with client-side AES decryption, plus direct streaming for Google Drive (files and full folder trees with live progress), Dropbox, and GoFile.
- 📊 Desktop Completion Reports: Automatically generates rich HTML visual summaries and plaintext audit reports directly to your Desktop upon download completion.
- 📊 Active Large File Monitor (≥ 50 MB): Dedicated real-time monitoring panel displaying individual progress bars, speed, and ETA for large media downloads.
- 🛡️ SSD Stall & Disk Saturation Protection: Hardened speed estimation engine prevents freeze glitches and auto-pauses gracefully upon out-of-disk space (
WinError 112/Errno 28) without crashing worker threads. - 🎯 Advanced Smart Filtering: Filter by character names, series, keywords, file categories (images, videos, audio, archives), or minimum file size thresholds.
- 🗂️ Automated Organization & Franchise Recognition: Automatically structures downloaded files into clean creator/franchise folders using an integrated franchise database and custom
Known.txtrules. - 📌 Artist Watchlist (WIP — not yet thoroughly tested): Track followed creators and automatically check for new posts since your last download. Per-artist manual checks, auto-check on startup, and a live counter badge on the tab.
- 🏷️ Tag-Based Folder Sorting: Organise downloads by their primary tag into sub-folders (
Artist / Tag / ...) so related content stays cleanly grouped. - 🔢 Sequential File Indexing: When tag folder mode is active, files are numbered (
001_,002_, ...) within each tag folder to preserve chronological order. - 📋 Failed Download Export: The retry modal now lets you export a full report of failed files — including direct download links and source post URLs — so you can audit or manually recover any missed content.
- 📖 Manga & Comic Order: Chronologically sequences files and folders (
001 - Title) so chapters stay in proper sequential order in image viewers. - 🔗 Link Harvesting & Export: Extracts external cloud drive links and embedded player URLs from post bodies and comments; download them immediately or export to text files.
- 🎬 Embedded Player Downloads: Auto-updating
yt-dlpintegration grabs videos from Vimeo, YouTube, Streamable, RedGifs, Twitter/X, and more. - 💾 Session Recovery & Queue Persistence: Pause and resume transfers anytime. Safely restores interrupted queues after an unexpected shutdown or crash.
