QuiverDL 0.4.0 improves browser handoff, torrent controls, Settings, and the desktop window layout.

  • Firefox can send downloads to QuiverDL without manual pairing-token entry. Open the updated desktop app once to register its bundled helper. The browser keeps its download when the initial handoff fails.
  • Open local or remote .torrent files, preview their contents, select files, choose a destination, and use file context-menu actions. Magnet metadata can be previewed before starting.
  • HTTP, HTTPS, and UDP trackers are supported, including private-tracker passkeys and fallback between trackers. Preview discovery and metadata retrieval share a one-minute deadline.
  • Settings are organized into seven tabs with search.
  • Window controls sit in a dedicated draggable top title bar. The Downloads heading and engine status have transparent backgrounds.
  • Torrent file/magnet integration is registered for Windows and Linux; macOS bundles declare their handlers and process OS-open events.
  • Updates include the repaired dependency PR and fixes from code review, with CI regression tests and checks that desktop packages include the browser helper.

Windows: download the windows-x64-portable.zip asset, extract it, and keep the helper beside quiver-desktop.exe. The portable build is unsigned. Linux packages and checksums are attached below.

Firefox: the release workflow submits version 0.4.0 to Mozilla. Automatic add-on delivery depends on Mozilla acceptance. The extension ZIP attached here is an unsigned store-submission archive.

BitTorrent still requires Direct mode and a working tracker; DHT, uploading, and seeding are disabled. Public swarm transfers and physical dragging were not part of automated validation.
