What Persepolis Download Manager is

Persepolis Download Manager is a free, open-source download manager written in Python. It organizes transfers with multi-segment downloading, queues, and scheduling. Its video finder supports sites including YouTube, Vimeo, and DailyMotion. Version 5.2.0 can show video thumbnails and automatically choose the highest quality. Persepolis downloads HTTP and HTTPS links, supports up to 64 connections, and works with SOCKS5 and HTTP proxies.

Persepolis runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with browser integration guidance for Firefox, Chrome or Chromium, Opera, and Vivaldi. Linux installation choices include options for Ubuntu, Debian, Arch Linux, Fedora, and openSUSE, along with a Linux bundle that can run without separately installing prerequisites. The project provides installation instructions for macOS and Microsoft Windows as well. Ubuntu 24.04 and older users, and Debian Bookworm and older users, are directed to the Linux bundle or source installation instructions. For Linux and BSD video downloads, yt-dlp and ffmpeg are optional prerequisites. The project welcomes contributors and people interested in maintaining packages for Linux distributions.
