Fetch everything. Download faster.

Video

  • Video pages from any site yt-dlp knows. Paste the page's link and HyperFetch finds the video on it. Before, only YouTube and a short list of sites were sent to yt-dlp; anything else ended with "Server sent a web page".
  • Videos come down over parallel connections. When a site serves the video as one plain file, HyperFetch now fetches it in ranges, like any other file. Measured on one site, the same 66.8 MB video three times each way: 62 Mbit/s, where a single connection gave 6. Speed limits apply to these downloads too. YouTube-style separate video and audio, HLS and DASH are fetched as before.
  • A live stream says so. A link to a live stream now ends with Live stream: it has no end, so there is no finished video instead of saving the few seconds on offer as "Completed".

Getting through

  • Sites your provider blocks. Downloads from them get through, as a browser's do. Settings → Network → Get past provider blocks is on by default.

Torrents

  • A smarter queue. A running torrent with no seeders gives its slot to a waiting one that has them, and waiting torrents are checked with their trackers every 15 minutes (Settings → Torrents → Check seeders of queued torrents).
  • Filed before they start. A torrent goes into Video, Music and the rest by its biggest file, before anything is written, instead of being moved after it finishes.
  • Private torrents are no longer announced to public trackers.
  • Trackers added to a torrent already in the list are really used; a queued multi-file torrent shows its own name; a torrent is listed under the category it is filed in.

Everyday

  • What cannot be classified goes to an Other folder instead of piling up in the download folder.
  • A Windows notification when downloads are added while HyperFetch is not in front (Settings → Downloads → Notify when a download is added).

Browser extension 1.9.1 (Chrome, Edge, Firefox)

  • The video badge sends the video its player is playing. It used to send the newest stream in the tab, which on pages with adverts was often an ad network's live stream, a thumbnail's preview clip or a pre-roll advert.
  • New installs in Chrome and Edge pair with the app on their own again. This needs HyperFetch 2.7.0.
  • The welcome page and the popup show the HyperFetch logo.
  • Firefox: the add-on is now on addons.mozilla.org. The app and the site send each browser to its own store.

The three hyperfetch-*-1.9.1.zip files below are for uploading to the stores; install the extension from your browser's store.
