Download Engine 3.10.0
Download Engine 3.10.0 adds native macOS and Linux packages using the same interface and download engine as Windows.
- macOS packages for Apple Silicon (arm64) and Intel (x64), plus a Linux x64 archive.
- Native file dialogs, platform download/profile folders, browser registration and torrent-opening integration.
- Credentials use macOS Keychain or Linux Secret Service; Windows retains its existing protection.
- Native FFmpeg is bundled in every desktop package, together with matching sources, build instructions and license notices.
- Fixed a macOS torrent race during concurrent first writes, with regression coverage and existing symlink/hard-link protections retained.
- Fixed a torrent shutdown race so incoming connection ports are closed before shutdown returns, including repeated or interrupted requests.
- Updated the website, README, platform/security guides and all 18 translated release notes.

Platform and upgrade notes
Windows packages are unsigned. Mac packages are ad-hoc signed and not Apple-notarized. Checksums confirm the published bytes, not publisher identity. Linux requires glibc 2.36+, OpenSSL 3, desktop graphics/input libraries and a portal backend; saved secrets need an unlocked Secret Service keyring.
Read the macOS/Linux installation and platform guide before installing. Native Mac compilation, automated tests, package smoke checks and UI rendering are covered on both architectures. Interactive Mac permission prompts still need real-desktop verification. Linux desktop verification covers an isolated Debian 12/Xfce X11 environment and Firefox; Wayland and other desktop/browser combinations are not claimed as tested.
Windows tray/startup/clipboard integrations, enterprise SSPI login and completion power actions remain Windows-specific. Lua is bundled; macOS/Linux PowerShell automation requires an existing PowerShell 7 installation.
Close the app before replacing its files. Preserve portable data and downloads, keep a profile backup, and reload manually installed browser extensions. Native archives use normal per-user profiles by default. Windows-protected secrets do not become readable when a profile is copied to another OS; enter them again.
Use torrents at your own risk. Files may contain malware and peers can see your IP address. Sharing after completion and incoming connections remain off by default. Only download and share content you are authorized to use.
