Copper Download Manager v0.1.7

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed torrent/magnet downloads stalling. aria2c was given the raw magnet URI, so it would re-fetch metadata over DHT and get stuck at ~95% of the (tiny) metadata download instead of downloading the actual data files. The app now resolves a magnet to its already-fetched .torrent metadata file and hands that to aria2c, so the selected files download immediately and reliably.
  • Fixed Chrome extension failing to load. The manifest.json was empty (0 bytes), which prevented the extension from loading entirely. A proper Manifest V3 manifest is now included.
  • Fixed Firefox extension failing to load. Firefox 140+ removed support for Manifest V2, so the older MV2-based extension no longer worked. Migrated both the manifest and background script to Manifest V3 (action, scripting, alarms, host permissions).
  • Extension background ping now uses alarms instead of setInterval, so connection status stays accurate in MV3 service workers.

Browser Extension v2.0 (fixed for current Chrome & Firefox)

  • Right-click context menu — download link / image / video / selected URL directly
  • Page media detector — scan a page for images, videos, audio, documents, archives, executables
  • Bulk download — download all images or all links on a page
  • Quick URL input — paste any URL into the popup to send to Copper
  • File type filter — auto-intercept only certain file types (mp4, zip, exe, ...)
  • Domain whitelist / blacklist — intercept only from (or exclude) certain domains
  • Connection indicator — green/red dot shows whether Copper is running
  • Download history — track intercepted downloads with timestamps
  • Badge counter — shows how many downloads were intercepted
  • Settings tab — configure port, filters, and domains from the popup

What's Included

  • Windows: CopperDownloadManager-0.1.7-Setup.exe — full installer
