Last Download Manager

A modern, feature-rich download manager built with C++ and wxWidgets. Accelerated multi-segment downloads, video site support via yt-dlp, browser extension integration, and robust crash recovery — all powered by native Windows APIs.

Overview

Last Download Manager (LDM) splits files into multiple segments and downloads them in parallel using WinINet, significantly boosting speeds on capable connections. It includes a two-level retry system with exponential backoff, periodic database saves for crash recovery, and MD5/SHA256 checksum verification. Video downloads are handled via yt-dlp with automatic tool management for yt-dlp, ffmpeg, and Deno — all stored in %APPDATA%\LDM\tools\ and updated automatically.

Key Features

  • Multi-Segment Downloads — accelerated downloading with parallel connections using WinINet
  • Auto-Retry & Resume — automatic retry on failures with exponential backoff; interrupted downloads resume from where they left off
  • Video Site Support — download from YouTube, Vimeo, and 1000+ sites via yt-dlp with quality selection
  • Browser Extension — Chrome/Edge/Firefox extension with auto-intercept, context menu, batch downloads, and video detection
  • Crash Recovery — periodic database saves ensure progress is preserved even after unexpected shutdowns
  • Checksum Verification — MD5 and SHA256 hash verification for downloaded files
  • Real-time Speed Graph — visual download speed monitoring with gradient visualization
  • Category Management — automatic file categorization (Documents, Videos, Music, Images, Programs, Compressed)
  • Scheduler — schedule downloads to start/stop at specific times
  • System Tray — minimize to system tray with notification support
