Aether — Download Manager

Aether is a premium Chrome download manager designed for enhanced efficiency and control over your downloads. It offers accelerated multi-connection downloads, allowing you to saturate your internet line for faster file transfers, commonly achieving 2-6x speed improvements on throttled hosts.

Key Features:

• Accelerated Downloads: Utilizes multi-connection segmented downloading to split files, reassemble them on the fly, and provide live speed graphs and flow meters. Supports pausing, resuming, and retrying downloads effectively.
• Media Harvester: Scans web pages to find and capture all images, videos, and audio streams, including HLS and DASH manifests. It can remux streams to MP4 using on-device ffmpeg.
• Debrid & Usenet Integration: Seamlessly handles magnet links by routing them through your debrid service (Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Premiumize) and supports NZB file hand-off to Usenet clients like SABnzbd or NZBGet. It also includes a vault for tracking expiring debrid links.
• Smart Rules: Automate file organization by routing downloads into specific folders based on file type, domain, or filename patterns, with support for auto-rename templates and per-rule notification control.
• Local Insights: Provides detailed, on-device computed charts of your download habits, including bandwidth trends, top domains, and file types, ensuring 100% local computation with no telemetry or cloud access.
• Signature Details: Enhancements like a live flow meter, speed graphs, a command palette (⌘K), debrid link expiry tracking, on-device ffmpeg remuxing, and instant QR sharing for mobile downloads.

Privacy Focused: Aether is built with a local-first approach, meaning all your download history and insights are stored locally. Debrid and Usenet credentials are also stored locally and used only for direct API calls. The extension collects no analytics, telemetry, or user accounts.
