Fixed

  • Instagram videos can be downloaded. The menu offered one row reading
    "Video · m4a" — a video row carrying an audio container — and no way to get
    the actual clip. Instagram serves the picture and the sound as two separate
    files; both were being captured correctly the whole time and neither was
    being offered, because the menu only showed what the browser had fetched when
    the page itself gave nothing at all. One poor row counted as something.

Changed

  • The tray settings say which moment they mean. Two of them read as the
    same switch. They are now "Launch when I sign in", "Minimise to tray when
    the system starts"    , "Minimise to tray", and "Minimise to tray when
    closed"     — and the second one could not be turned off at all before without
    giving up the first.
  • The log is kept by size, not by line count. Settings → General:
    "Start a new log once it reaches ___ MB". It fills up to that and then
    begins again. Untick it and the log is never trimmed, which is what you want
    when you are waiting for something intermittent to happen.

This is a beta. If something does not work, please open an
issue — the templates ask for the log, which is usually the whole
answer. Toolbar → Log → Copy.

Downloads

Every platform has both: an installer, and a portable copy
that keeps its files wherever you put them and can replace itself
in place.

Platform Installer Portable
Windows ixd-*-windows-x64-setup.exe ixd-*-windows-x64.zip
macOS (Apple silicon) ixd-*-macos-arm64.pkg, or the .dmg ixd-macos-arm64.zip
Linux ixd_*_amd64.deb ixd-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

The Windows installer asks whether to install for everyone — which
needs administrator and goes to Program Files — or just for you,
which needs nothing and goes to %APPDATA%\IXD.

The *-selfupdate* archives are the portable copies that are allowed
to replace their own folder when a new version appears. The ordinary
ones never touch themselves.

Start the application once, then load the extension from the folder
it writes. The two browsers need different manifests under the same
filename, so they get a folder each.

Chrome / Edge / Brave Firefox
Linux ~/.local/share/ixd/extension ~/.local/share/ixd/extension-firefox
Windows %APPDATA%\IXD\extension %APPDATA%\IXD\extension-firefox
macOS ~/Library/Application Support/IXD/extension …/extension-firefox

Chrome: chrome://extensions → Developer mode → Load unpacked →
the folder. Firefox: about:debugging → Load Temporary Add-on →
manifest.json inside the folder.

Before you report a problem

macOS is unverified. It builds and packages on a macOS runner and
has never been launched on real hardware. A report either way is
genuinely useful — including "it just worked". It is also neither
signed nor notarised, so the first launch needs right-click → Open,
or xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "Internet Xtreme Downloader.app".

Windows: the first launch takes a while. Windows scans the whole
folder before it runs anything from it. Later launches are immediate.

Linux is the platform this is developed on and gets the most use.
