- LinkCore ships with the XferCore download engine, which automatically picks the best "Max Connections per Server" setting for stable and compatible downloads.
- Each task supports up to 128 concurrent segments (32 connections per server by default), backed by a built-in disk cache for smoother parallel downloads.
- Note: Real concurrency for single-source downloads depends on the segment count; torrent and multi-mirror downloads can stack concurrency for faster overall speed.
- High-speed Downloads: Optimized for maximum download performance, with a built-in disk cache and connection reuse for smoother multi-task downloads
- Multi-threaded Support: Up to 128 threads per task
- Concurrent Downloads: Manage up to 10 download tasks simultaneously
- Stable Connections: Robust error handling and automatic retry mechanism
- Memory Optimization: Automatically releases memory when all windows are hidden or minimized
- HTTP/HTTPS: Download directly from websites, with multi-connection acceleration
- FTP/SFTP: Transfer files from FTP servers
- BitTorrent: Full torrent file support with selective downloading; built-in tracker servers for out-of-the-box use
- Magnet Links: Direct downloads without .torrent files
- ED2K (eDonkey): Native support for eDonkey links, discovering sources via eDonkey servers, source exchange, and the KAD network
- Multi-method Source Discovery: Find sources in parallel via eDonkey servers, source exchange (server-independent), and the KAD network (experimental)
- Server Subscription: Subscribe to server list files, with manual sync or automatic sync on a configurable schedule; 9 popular eDonkey servers are built in
- Configurable Parameters: Listen port (default 4662), max connections, connection timeout, and max sources per file
- ED2K Task Details: View file info and a live source list in task details, including per-source status, queue position, and available pieces
- Transport Protocols: Supports multiple transport protocols for more stable and faster downloads
- Network Discovery: Automatically opens network ports to improve connection success
- Built-in Tracker Servers: Pre-configured tracker servers so downloads work out of the box
- Multiple Built-in Nodes: Multiple built-in network nodes for more reliable connections
- Auto Cleanup: Automatically cleans up long-unresponsive connections to keep downloads efficient
- Online Video Download (Browser Extension): Recognize web videos via the browser extension and send them to the app with one click to create download tasks
- Download Takeover: Clicks on download links on web pages (e.g., links with a download attribute or common file extensions) can be handed over to LinkCore, with support for excluding specific sites or file types and Alt+Click to bypass
- Video Recognition: Supports multiple video formats and automatically distinguishes audio streams from video streams
- Unified Task Management: Video resources appear as regular download tasks in the task list, supporting the same pause/resume/delete management experience as other tasks
- Merge Progress Display: Audio/video that needs merging enters a "merging" state with visible progress after download, and correctly merges when multiple segmented videos are sent at once
