Velox — Segmented Download Manager
Velox is a fast, modern, open-source download manager for desktop (macOS / Windows / Linux). Built with Tauri 2 + Rust and a React/Tailwind UI, it downloads files dramatically faster than a browser by splitting each file into parallel byte-range segments and fetching them simultaneously — the same technique used by IDM.
Features
- Segmented downloading — splits files into up to 32 parallel connections and assembles them byte-perfectly. Tune the connection count per download or globally.
- Pause / resume— pause any download and pick it back up exactly where it left off, byte-for-byte (works on any server that supports HTTP byte ranges).
- Crash-safe resume— Velox writes your progress to disk every few seconds with atomic writes, so an app crash, power loss, or reboot never costs you your progress. In-progress downloads are auto-resumed on launch.
- Download history — every download is recorded in a local SQLite database
