About

Queue, pause, resume and monitor file and torrent downloads with smart auto-resume, segmented transfers, and per-file torrent picking, all in a native GNOME interface. Filter and search the queue, retry failures in bulk, and keep everything organized with a download history that survives restarts. Paste a video link to fetch it in up to 4K quality or as audio-only, with the title and quality picked before you add it to the queue.
