Haste DL

Every download at full speed.

Haste Downloader splits each file across parallel connections, catches the video playing in your browser and saves it as one clean file.

Version 1.0.0. Windows 10 and 11, macOS and Linux, on x64 and ARM64.

How Haste DL works

One window. Nothing to learn.

Paste a link or press Download on a video. Everything else is handled for you.

Built for the way you actually download.

Already in your browser.

Play a video in Chrome, Edge, Brave or Firefox and a Download button appears on the player with every quality, its real resolution and its size. HLS, DASH and AES-128 encrypted streams included.

Nothing sent to the author.

Downloads, settings, the list and logs stay on your computer. Cookies live in memory for the request in progress and are never written to disk.

Every connection you own, at once.

Speed Booster spreads one download across Wi-Fi, Ethernet and a tethered phone, with a speed limit per network. A network that drops and comes back rejoins the download at once.

0MB/s combined, example

Survives a power cut.

Progress is saved continuously, so a closed app or a power failure resumes where it stopped. Partial files stay in a hidden folder that is cleared when you delete a download, or after a week unused.

Video and audio, merged for you.

A built-in muxer rewraps separate tracks and streams, H.264 or HEVC with AAC or AC-3, into MP4, WebM or MKV without re-encoding. No ffmpeg, no extra tools.

Updates you can trust.

Every installer must carry a valid RSA signature and arrive over HTTPS, or it is rejected. The app always asks before it installs.

Downloads that wait their turn.

Choose Download later and it joins the queue. The queue runs a few at a time, starts by itself at the hour and on the days you pick, and can stop again before morning.

Know when it lands.

A system notification tells you when a download completes or fails, with the reason.

What it will not do.

Sites change how they deliver media without notice. A site that works today can stop working until Haste DL is updated.

Browser

  1. Install it

    Windows: run the installer, no administrator rights needed. macOS: open the disk image and drag the app to Applications. Linux: extract the archive and run install.sh, or install the .deb. Nothing else needs installing.

  2. Add the browser extension

    The app ships with a short guide. In Chrome, Edge or Brave turn on Developer mode at chrome://extensions, choose Load unpacked, then turn on Allow in Incognito. In Firefox, load it from about:debugging. Browsers do not let an installer do this for you.

  3. Play a video, press Download

    Pick a quality, check the file name and folder in the dialog, then start. Or paste any http or https address into the main window.

Uninstall from Settings, Apps. Your settings and download list are kept, and downloaded files are never touched.
