Hydra Download Manager (HDM) is an open-source download manager offering three ways to use it: command line, desktop GUI and browser extension. It dynamically adjusts concurrent tasks based on connection state, combines multiple mirror sources, and supports queue scheduling, resume from breakpoint, and checksum verification - suited to daily large-file downloads and automation scripts.

Software features
Supports adaptive concurrency, range stealing and stall detection; it can distribute download tasks across multiple connections and mirrors, and reschedule when a connection slows.
Seamless browser integration that fits your workflow.
The desktop app lets Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari take over downloads, and offers queue, scheduled start/stop, failure retry, system tray and portable config directory.
Supports remote checksum query, target hash verification, resume from breakpoint and more.
Supported systems: Windows, macOS, Linux; the project also provides x86_64 and some ARM64 builds.
Completely free, supports Chinese settings, smooth experience, and supports parsing and sniffing downloads.

How to install the extension in your browser
I provided crx and zip files; you can install them into the corresponding browser.
How to install a .crx file?
Some browsers may block installing .crx online from the store. If so, do the following:
In the browser address bar, enter chrome://extensions and check Developer mode.
Find the .crx package you just downloaded and drag it onto the extensions management page. Detailed illustrated tutorial included.
How to install a .zip file?
When .crx installation fails or the extension can't be enabled, try the .zip file as follows:
Extract the .zip file to any directory.
In the browser address bar, enter chrome://extensions and check Developer mode.
Click Load unpacked and select the directory extracted in step 2 to install.
