Features

Every source. One queue. One pipeline.

Collect from any source, review in the LinkGrabber, control one persistent queue, and let the pipeline finish the job.

01 — Source coverage

Stop stitching download tools together.

Different sources, one way of working: the same packages, priorities, controls, destinations and recovery for all of them.

01 / 10

HTTP and hosters

ChecksumsReal-Debrid140 XFS sitesMetalink

Bundled resolvers for cloud drives, filehosters and multihosters such as Google Drive, MEGA and Real-Debrid, with fallback between hosters.

REQ

Media, gallery, and livestream features use separately available external tools. Source compatibility depends on those tools and the source website.

02 — LinkGrabber

Collect first. Download when you're ready.

Paste links, capture them in the browser, drop an NZB or torrent, or search your indexers. The LinkGrabber checks and groups them; you decide what gets queued.

CHECK

Know what you collected

See online status, size, provider and duplicates, including links you already downloaded, before anything starts.

ORGANIZE

Build the right packages

Group links into packages with category, priority and password. A release at several hosters is one row, and filter rules sort new links as they arrive.

CAPTURE

Use the surface you already have

Extension, clipboard, Click'n'Load, containers, feeds, API and MCP all lead into one review. Site rules show a release page's files before anything is fetched.

03 — Automation pipeline

The download is only the beginning.

Route packages with categories and rules, or build event-driven workflows. rDownloader then verifies, repairs, extracts, runs scripts, notifies and uploads.

Processing levels

Pick a level from no post-processing to repair, unpack and delete. Interrupted steps resume, and an incomplete package is never unpacked with gaps.

Automations

Trigger actions on events, storage thresholds or a schedule: set priorities, pause the queue, unpack, notify or add links. Every run is logged.

PAR2, SFV and malware scan

PAR2 repairs Usenet packages, SFV verifies any package, and an optional scan with your own ClamAV stops a package with a finding.

File policy, sorting and tidy names

One clear rule for taken names: rename, skip, overwrite or ask. Categories sort series and films into folders by template.

04 — Queue control

Built for queues that need real control.

Keep the overview when one link becomes hundreds of files: work per package or file, set priorities and bandwidth budgets, and pick up after a restart.

Persistent packages

Queue and transfer states survive a restart, finished packages stay searchable in the history, and packages export and import as link files.

Parallel and resumable

Run up to 32 downloads at once, split files into chunks and wait out hoster limits without wasting retries.

Priorities and bulk actions

Set priorities and order, search and filter, and pause, resume or reset thousands of files in one step. A failed package starts over from scratch, its files cleared from disk.

Checksums and safe resume

Validate expected MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, or CRC32 values and protect partial files against changed remote content.

Live visibility

Track speed globally and per package or file, recent throughput, remaining data, and free space.

Network control

Limit speed live, by schedule or per host, account, category or package, route traffic through proxies, and let downloads run only at night.

Capacity and context

Hold downloads on a storage root that runs low and resume once there is room; pause new starts on battery or metered networks.

Completion and notifications

When the queue drains, run a script or shut down. Get notified by webhook, email, ntfy, Discord, Telegram or push, and refresh Plex, Jellyfin or Emby.
