Command line: Use xdm-app –headless to download HTTP files, HLS (.m3u8) and DASH (.mpd) streams from a terminal, script or scheduled task. Every option, with examples.
Verify checksum: Check that a file downloaded with XDM is complete and untampered: verify it against the site’s .sha256 file, SHA256SUMS or a pasted hash, right from XDM.
Subtitles: Save the subtitles of a streaming video with XDM: pick a subtitle track for HLS and DASH streams, or grab the subtitle files a page loads, converted to SRT for any player.
Download all from a page: Grab every PDF, image, file or video on a web page at once: right-click, Download all with XDM, filter by type, size or name, and save them into one folder. Works for social media profiles too.
Download list: Everything you can do with downloads in XDM’s list: filter and sort, pause and resume, change a download’s folder, restart, view properties and request headers, handle duplicates and clear old entries.
Safety and security: How XDM keeps downloads safe: files marked as coming from the internet so SmartScreen and Gatekeeper check them, antivirus scans, HTTPS certificate checks, and server and proxy logins including NTLM.
Look and language: Make XDM look and sound the way you like: light, dark or system theme, a bigger or smaller interface, your language, your own translation files, completion sounds and Linux display options.
Files and disk space: How XDM writes downloads: straight into the final folder with no slow assembling step, where video segments go, how the temporary folder works, low disk space warnings, and why a full disk never restarts a download.
