Download Accelerator (Multi-Connection Downloader)

Paste a direct file link and download it in parallel pieces, like IDM, right in your browser. Pause and resume any time, even after closing the page.

Downloads go directly from the file’s server to your device Free, no sign-up Works on mobile
File link (URL)
Paste a direct link to a file, for example a .zip, .iso, .mp4 or .pdf.
Connections
More connections help when a server limits each connection’s speed. Browsers allow about 6 at a time per server.

Works with servers that allow downloads from other websites (CORS) and support resuming (HTTP ranges), such as many CDNs, Linux mirrors, archive.org, Wikimedia and cloud storage links. The speed-up is biggest when a server limits each connection; modern HTTP/2 servers already share one fast connection, so gains there are smaller. The file goes straight from the server to your device.

How to use Download Accelerator

  1. Paste a direct link to a file and choose how many connections to use.
  2. Press Download. Each coloured bar is one connection downloading its own piece.
  3. Pause, resume or restart as needed. The finished file saves to your Downloads.

Features

  • Up to 8 parallel connections
  • Smart splitting keeps every connection busy
  • Pause, resume and restart
  • Resume after closing the page
  • Live speed, time left and per-connection progress

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn’t it work with some links?

Browsers only let a website download from another server if that server allows it (a security rule called CORS). Many CDNs, Linux mirrors, archive.org, Wikimedia and cloud storage links allow it; many file-sharing sites don’t. For those, the tool offers the normal download link instead.

Does it really make downloads faster?

When a server limits the speed of each connection, using 4–8 connections can multiply the speed. On modern HTTP/2 servers or when your own internet is the bottleneck, the gain is small.

Can I pause and continue later?

Yes. Downloaded pieces are stored in your browser’s private storage, so you can pause, close the page and resume later, as long as the file on the server hasn’t changed.

Can I download YouTube or Instagram videos with it?

No. It downloads direct links to files only, and video sites don’t provide those.

Where is the file saved?

In your browser’s Downloads folder when it finishes. In Chrome and Edge on a computer, you can also choose a folder.

Why does my file have a random name like c169677d-…?

Many download servers send the real file name in a way browsers don’t let other websites read. The tool then looks for a name in the link and for the title stored inside video and audio files, and always adds the correct extension (.mkv, .mp4, .zip…). You can type any name in the “Save as” box before or after the download.
