Gopeed is a cross-platform download manager that provides a unified interface for retrieving files across diverse protocols, including HTTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, and ED2K. It utilizes a multi-segment concurrent downloading engine to maximize network bandwidth utilization and accelerate transfer speeds. The application is designed for both desktop and mobile environments, offering a terminal-based command-line interface alongside a graphical user experience.
The project distinguishes itself through a scriptable extension framework that allows users to execute custom JavaScript to automate complex retrieval tasks and parse specific web sources. It supports programmatic control via a RESTful API, enabling external applications to manage download queues and monitor task status. Furthermore, the system integrates with web browsers to intercept download requests and supports custom URI schemes to launch transfers directly from external sources.
The architecture includes robust traffic management capabilities, such as configurable proxy routing through HTTP or SOCKS5 tunnels. Users can implement automated workflows by triggering external notifications or custom scripts upon the completion or failure of download tasks. The system also provides tools for extension development, including version control integration and diagnostic logging for troubleshooting.
