✨ What's new

⇄ Multi-mirror downloads

Add other URLs of the same file under Ayna linkler. Chunks are spread across every mirror that supports Range and reports the same size, so the speeds add up. If one mirror drops, its chunks continue on the others.

🗜️ Pick files inside ZIP and RAR archives

When a .zip or .rar arrives from the browser, the download window shows an archive card. Use İçeriği gör ve seç to tick only the files you want.

  • Only those files are downloaded, through HTTP Range requests, and each one appears in the list with its own progress card.
  • The browser's cookies are sent along, so archives behind a login (such as Moodle) work too.
  • RAR5 and solid archives are supported. Password-protected entries are listed but can't be picked.

🎮 Game mode

While a fullscreen game, film or presentation is running, downloads slow down automatically (default 512 KB/s) so your ping stays low. Your own speed limit comes back when you leave fullscreen. You can change or turn this off in Settings.

🎨 Interface

  • New Download now picks the connection count with buttons (1–32), the same way the browser window does.
  • Hovering Ayna linkler or Toplu İndirme opens an info card that explains what each option does.

🐞 Fixes

  • When every mirror failed at the same moment, the "link expired" state could get lost. Fixed.

📦 Install

  1. Download VortexDownloader-v1.8.0-win-x64.zip and extract it.
  2. Run VortexDownloader.exe. It's portable, with no installer and no .NET runtime needed.
  3. The browser extension is in the extension folder: chrome://extensions → Developer mode → Load unpacked. It is unchanged since v1.7.0, so if you already installed it there's nothing to do.

Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run because the binary is not code-signed. Click More info → Run anyway.
