Changelog

What changed, version by version.

Newest first. Each entry lists what’s new, what got better and what was fixed.

0.1.0

The first release, for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel) and Windows (64-bit).

New

  • Downloads over up to 32 connections per file, with work stealing and adaptive connection counts that remember each site’s limit.
  • Pause and resume, including after a crash or restart; the file is re-checked on the server before resuming.
  • Queues, a scheduler with sleep / shut-down when done, categories and hourly or daily quotas.
  • Browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Brave (Firefox as a temporary add-on), with a guided setup in the app.
  • Torrents: magnet links, .torrent files, file selection, seeding limits, allowed networks and a kill switch. Off until turned on.
  • Remote ZIP: list a ZIP on a server and download only the files you tick.
  • Network bonding: one file over two networks at once.
  • After-download rules: extract, virus scan, move, rename, run a command.
  • Telegram bot for adding and controlling downloads; data dashboard with a monthly cap.
  • Native apps: macOS menu bar and dock, Windows title bar, menus, tray and jump list.

Improved

  • After installing, SQDM opens once in your browser at http://127.0.0.1:9614, already connected — no pairing code needed on that computer.
  • The Windows installer has proper welcome, terms and finish pages.
  • Finished downloads have calmer progress bars, so the ones still running stand out.

Fixed

  • Opening SQDM from another device on the same network stayed on “Paired — opening SQDM…”.
  • Windows: “Show in Folder” and “Open” did nothing for paths with spaces, and Explorer could open hidden.
  • Windows: deleting a file that another program held for a moment needed several tries. SQDM now retries, and says so when a file is really in use.
