In their own words
Gopeed
Gopeed is a free, open-source download manager for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and the web. It handles HTTP, HTTPS, BitTorrent, magnet, and ed2k links; BitTorrent support includes seeding, DHT, PEX, uTP, WebTorrent, and UPnP. JavaScript extensions can add download sources such as YouTube, HuggingFace, and cloud storage, while browser add-ons for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox can capture links automatically. For remote or automated workflows, Gopeed offers an HTTP REST API, an official JavaScript SDK, and webhooks for completion or failure events. Its web version and Docker deployment can provide remote download services with configurable authentication. The project has no ads or tracking and is released under GPLv3. The API guidance recommends using an API token, and public web deployments should enable identity authentication. The iOS build is an IPA for self-signing rather than an App Store listing. The installation guide also notes that Windows antivirus software may falsely flag host.exe and updater.exe.
Persepolis Download Manager
Persepolis Download Manager is free and open-source software for managing downloads. It supports multi-segment transfers, queues, and scheduling, so downloads can be organized and set to run later. Its video finder supports sites including YouTube, Vimeo, and DailyMotion; version 5.2.0 can display thumbnails and choose the highest quality automatically. Persepolis handles HTTP and HTTPS links, with up to 64 connections and SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy support. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with browser integration guidance for Firefox, Chrome or Chromium, Opera, and Vivaldi. Linux installation choices include Ubuntu, Debian, Arch Linux, Fedora, and openSUSE, as well as a bundle that runs without separately installing prerequisites. The project also provides macOS and Windows installation instructions. Linux and BSD video installations may use yt-dlp and ffmpeg as optional prerequisites. There is no official FreeBSD package, and the version in FreeBSD's official repositories is described as very old.
