taking longer than expected but worth it. |
|
I prefer the current ui. |
|
No! The New UI looks more friendly and easy to use. |
|
Hi @subhra74 could you tell me how to build this project using command line? Or are you build this app using visual studio? Please write the docs, so we can read guides correctly. |
|
once it reaches pre-release/alpha version, I will update the docs, for now the project can be compiled in Visual studio 2019 |
|
@subhra74 |
|
you,tooοΌ |
Jesus wake up π |
|
Thanks for the effort. Really appreciate it! |
|
Thanks for updating the app . it is so usefull . love your app so much bhai |
|
Can XDM download video playlist in the future? |
|
Yes |
Thank you developers, XDM imporoved significantly in this version. |
|
I am really waiting for that for a long time. We needed some upgrades in the UI also, but I would recommend keeping the XDM icon in the title bar. |
|
The icon will be there in titlebar, this image are just to give an idea |
|
I was hoping it would be Qt for Linux :/ damn |
|
Unfortunately Qt does not have good support for DotNet and also Qt libs are pretty heavy in term of installer size |
|
Is it impossible to add channel tracking function to next gen XDM? |
|
Can you please elaborate a bit about it? |
|
I hope there's a function to track a specific channel (Youtube, Video, Dailymotion etc) and download automatically a new video when it's uploaded. |
|
@erlingmich you can file an issue for this feature and tag the issue as enhancements |
|
Any chance of supporting torrent downloads too like MotrixApp? |
|
At the moment no, but torrent support will be there in future |
|
Nice! |
|
I would love to switch to new XDM from my current torrent downloader, qbittorrent. |
|
Wow ! I cant wait. But Qt would be good for Linux π. |
|
yeah Qt works really good in both Ubuntu GTK-based and KDE but either ways is fine as long as it's not swing |
|
The problem with qt is that it does not have good dotnet binding |
|
Yeah QT means you can use one UI toolkit for both linux and windows but it also means a bigger binary and the headaches which come with Qt. PyQT5 is pretty decent wonder if python will be too slow for XDM. |
|
Choosing Python +QT would have great choice, unfortunately itβs a bit late now to change |
|
Woo! am looking forward for the release. Thanks for the hard work you are putting out. Really appreciate it. |
|
Looks like FDM now. But appreciate the effort. I like the new UI and it's a good step toward a faster and leaner experience. Cannot wait to test it out. |
|
Can we get a preview of the separate download progress window? If you left it out or gave one a low priority, take a note from the Free Download Manager Team's analytics. Removing the popup download progress window was the most listed reason why people stopped using new versions of their app (33%). |
|
didn't expect it to be like that, but yeah. i would do the same if they remove the separate download window |
|
Tbh the current popup window is not the best but a very necessary and useful feature. Would love to see a overhaul in the design. |
|
Download progress window is there, hoping to release the windows beta version within next few days |
|
Can we download files from command-line terminal using xdman? At least for linux users? |
|
Thanks, it's been a long time with no update |
|
Does the "Do not automatically capture downloads from below web sites" support regular expression? I would like to black list all websites since some websites are very, very annoying. When I want to download it will do it manually. |
|
is this project still active? |
This shit will become commercial |
Dude I found a warning information about FDM in a blog, guess you need to check this out: |

XDM is now very far in my rear view mirror. I've been using File Centipede, Which is far more configurable and just overall a much better product. Plus it is not orphaned. |
Jeez stop spamming already π |
@Kedryn Hmm I suggest you write a Python script with some schedulers library that can persists after system reboot. |
|
Thanks, but i simply went back to IDM, XDM would be better, but it does not work. |
|
Try ant download manager giveaway version from sharewareonsale tomorrow is
the last date...

Hi @subhra74 when will xdm version 8 be released stable? |
|
There is no sign of subhra74 working on XDM (or almost any other of his projects) for nearly 2 years |
|
Anyone here found an alternative to IDM's video download through its extension integration? |
|
I use [Video Downloadhelper (https://www.downloadhelper.net/). I am on Linux and I use it solely for video. In many respects it works better than XDM, but it is not quite as feature-rich. Definitely detects video better than XDM. It has a browser extension and a CoAop. It's too bad about XDM. The quality product that died much too soon. I mourn its death. The developer should at least offer to let someone else take over the project. |
|
Thank you for the suggestion, but user reviews are reporting it adds a huge watermark that covers third of the video, and many report privacy concerns. That's a pass for me. |
|
You can buy the so-called premium version for $18 for a lifetime license. Just so you know. I have done this and you the daily with no watermarks whatsoever. |

Just installed and tested File Centipede. Kicks a$$ over XDM. And, it is still in development and production so no one is left hanging. I am converted. |
Seems pretty handy for video. I just wish it didn't have all of the other junk bundled in. Like, I don't need FTP, SSH, and all that other stuff. I already have clients for these things that I'm familiar with, and prefer to use. That, and I don't really like the idea of one dev being over the security of these things. I suppose community members could contribute audits and fixes, but I'd rather leave these things in the hands of the Linux industry leaders.
It's an open source project. Literally anyone can fork it, and take it over. That's how GitHub works. |
Sure yeah that's why the free version disappeared out of thin air π |
|
Yeah that's why the last free version was on 2022

Not true. You just have to take 5 seconds and read some simple instructions.

XDM is migrating to C# 9/DotNet 6 for a fast, lean and better user experience
XDM was written in Java. It proved to be a good choice in 2013 for a cross platform application, but not without some major drawbacks.
Some of the major problems XDM is facing because of Java is:
Solution: XDM is being re-written in DotNet to solve above problems.
New XDM will use
Changes in browser extension
There is also some changes how XDM interacts with the browser. From version 8.0.6, browser extension will only be used to intercept file downloads. Video download option is added in the XDM application itself. It is under New button. New->Video download.
I am forced to make this change because of repeated warning and threats from Chrome web store and Firefox extension store to disable/delete the extension. Since detecting streaming video requires monitoring users network traffic, the reviewers often thinks that XDM extension is doing some malicious activity. In the past the extension was taken down several times for this reason and though it was restored later on, users often get confused and suspicious of XDM. I also received warning from Chrome web store that the extension is being used to download copyright protected contents, so from now on XDM will delegate all its video downloading tasks to another open source tool yt-dlp to fetch video links from URL. XDM will not have any video downloading code itself and will take video download links from yt-dlp as general URL and will leave the decision of determining whether content is legal/copyright protected up to the user.
All new code is being pushed to the following branch (https://github.com/subhra74/xdm/tree/feature/8.0.1)
Thank you for your support and understanding!
Here is a preview how new version will look like
