Byterush: Download Up to 30× Faster

Hands browser downloads to the Byterush app: parallel connections, resume, and your cookies so protected sites keep working.

Byterush hands the downloads your browser starts to the free Byterush app on your computer. The app downloads each file over up to 32 connections instead of the browser's one: up to 30× faster on servers that limit each connection, and a download carries on after a crash or an expired link. WHAT THE EXTENSION DOES • Catches downloads as you start them: link clicks, scripts, redirects and files the server names itself. You click as usual, and the file goes to Byterush instead of the browser's download bar. • Keeps your sign-in: the app repeats the browser's own request, with the same cookies, user agent and referer, so files behind a login still download. • Never loses a file: Byterush takes over only once its first connection gets the same file the browser was getting. Form submissions, one-time links and anything the app can't repeat stay in the browser, and the popup tells you why. • Right-click any link, video, audio or image → "Download with Byterush". • A switch for all downloads, and one per site for sites that need the browser. • The popup shows whether the app is connected and the last downloads it handed over. YOU NEED THE BYTERUSH APP The extension does nothing on its own: it hands downloads to the Byterush app, a free download manager for Windows, macOS and Linux. Download it and follow the setup guide: https://byterush.xyz/setup PRIVACY The extension talks only to the Byterush app on your own computer (127.0.0.1). To repeat a download with your sign-in, it notes the request headers of the pages and files the browser loads, keeps them in memory for two minutes, and passes on only those of the download it hands over. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else. No account, no analytics, no ads. Privacy policy: https://byterush.xyz/privacy Help and contact: https://byterush.xyz/
