What is FluxDown?

FluxDown is a free, open-source download manager that rebuilds the category from scratch using Rust and Tokio for performance and memory safety. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K, and HLS/DASH streaming, with dynamic segment splitting, speed limiting, and full resume capability via SQLite persistence. The project describes itself as a free and open-source IDM alternative.

The application offers desktop and browser interfaces (Chrome, Edge, Firefox extensions), a headless mode for NAS systems, and an extensible plugin ecosystem. It includes light and dark themes with 13 color schemes, and is designed as local-first with no ads, tracking, or account requirements. The GitHub repository indicates the project was built with Rust and includes AI agent integration via Model Context Protocol.
