Hi Anmol, I like the idea. I can see a really useful use case when you're somewhere without Wi-Fi or a fixed internet connection, but you have two phones with 4G/5G.

Could Plexo use two USB-tethered phones at the same time and combine both mobile connections for a download? Using phones on different carriers could be especially useful when travelling or working remotely.

[anmolkapil]

Hi, thanks for the kind words!

Yes, that's within scope. Plexo works with standard network interfaces, so two USB-tethered phones would show up as two separate interfaces that Plexo can use, just like Wi-Fi + Ethernet or two Wi-Fi adapters.

It doesn't really care whether the connection is USB tethering, Wi-Fi, or wired — as long as the OS exposes it as a usable network interface/route, Plexo can use it.

Bro! please upload your work to different mirror/hosting sites like Sourceforge/Mediafire/MEGA
This link is ruining the download experience of your first potential testers

BTW my internet don't have any problems-https://www.speedtest.net/result/19703242749
And one more thing, there are absolute morons commenting under your post who don't even have the idea of bits and bytes conversion so please add both scales in the app which should display 1Byte(B)=8bits(b)
GOOD WORK TOUGH, KEEP IT UP!

[anmolkapil]

github servers are usually enough at this scale, might be a hiccup when you were downloading.
I will host on other platforms if more people face this issue.

Thanks for bringing this up.

Also I'm gonna keep using MBps only. Because thats the industry standard for download manager. Below is the reasoning behind it.

[geekforbrowsing-oss]

The download speed of both of my connections are good but I don't think so plexo has the same figures. Please reinvestigate into this matter.

Thank You!

Are you consistently facing this issue?

[geekforbrowsing-oss]

No, I am not facing this issue continuously. But sometime it happens.
Also it might be a server problem

My simple idea is to implement torrent downloading in this app but i am just a newbie so i asked ai and ai gave me this
I am still a newbie so its hard for me to implement this on your app . also a gamer who downloads lots of games in torrent so i get this idea and want to share with the devs

"Implement torrent downloading in Plexo using a proven library such as libtorrent-rasterbar or WebTorrent. Support torrent files and magnet links, piece verification, pause/resume, progress reporting, and multiple network interfaces by binding peer connections to selected local IP addresses. Reuse Plexo’s existing scheduler, network interface UI, retry handling, persistence, and download state where possible. Start with single-network torrent downloads, then add multi-network peer assignment and test on Windows."

[anmolkapil]

Will surely add Torrent support soon.
I also wanted it myself

[Luffytaro-da]

I'll try myself with the help of ai i hope it will work if it work efficiently then I'll update you

Thanks for considering my idea

[Luffytaro-da]

i made one another app ref to the plexo adding torrent downloading and it works can you please check it if i done it right using ai?

[ScottySalvo]

The app is great - good job. Please set ability to set default parallel streams to a different value than 2x each time the app opens. It should remember or allow us to set defaults.

[anmolkapil]

sure, thanks for the suggestion!

[anmolkapil]

✅ Support was added in rc9

[AkshayRane05]

Hey Anmol, I was willing to contribute to this awesome project and convert the app to an actual executable file after seeing that it runs on electron. As I sat to work on it and opened Plexo, I got an update notification and saw it coming... My guess was correct and you already did the conversion lol. Anyways, it's a great project and I would be willing to contribute in future. Good work, keep it up!

[VPraharsha03]

How do i install to a different location on windows ? the installer auto installs on opening, any installer switches to specify path ? @anmolkapil

[anmolkapil]

Added installation destination support in rc10 version

[VPraharsha03]

Thanks a lot
