Download Tools - Multi threaded

Multi-threaded download utility with aria2 engine for your browser!

Download Tools is a robust Chrome extension designed to enhance your browser's downloading capabilities using multi-threaded technology. Leveraging the open-source aria2 engine, this tool supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent, and Metalink protocols to deliver fast and reliable downloads.

By employing nativeMessaging technology, Download Tools communicates seamlessly with the aria2 client installed on your system (Windows, Linux, or Mac). Users must install the aria2 executable and a native-client patch to enable this integration. For setup instructions and downloads, visit the respective GitHub repositories. This extension is ideal for users seeking efficient download management within their browser environment.

requires native client patch as well apart from aria2c native client mode is not recommended for regular browsing due to its problems (for testing purposes only) https://chromium.googlesource.com/native_client/src/native_client/+/refs/heads/master/docs/native_client_in_google_chrome.md

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Download Tools - Multi threaded requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Medium Facilitates communication between extensions and native applications, usually low risk if managed correctly.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Download Tools - Multi threaded may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
