Hyperion Downloader

Hyperion Downloader is a lightweight multithreaded downloader built with Wails. It currently supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Download

You can download the latest release from the Releases page. iOS builds are available on TestFlight. Android builds will eventually be available on Google Play. They are currently available as a release on GitHub.

Features

• Multithreaded downloading
• Pause and resume downloads
• Cookies, user agent, referrer, authorization header support

Known Issues

• Some servers may not support range requests, which is not fully handled yet. Regardless, the downloader would not be able to download any faster from these servers as it would download the same as a browser would.

Resuming Downloads

If you want to resume a download, add the same URL again and it will resume the download.
