File and media download managers
This cluster comprises 43 desktop, mobile, and cross-platform download managers that handle file, video, torrent, and stream downloads with features like acceleration, queueing, pause/resume, scheduling, and browser integration. The dated entry history shows isolated releases from 2010 through 2025, with a higher concentration of entries in early 2026 (February through July). Traction leaders are motrix-gpui (34 stars), IXD (7 stars), and JieXi (5 stars).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 9 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
