Aether

Downloads, elevated. A premium download manager for Chrome.

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.
