Overview

FileCentipede is a browser extension designed to enhance your downloading experience, particularly suited for users who need to efficiently manage various file downloads. With seamless integration with the FileCentipede desktop application, you can easily download videos, audio, images, and other resources from web pages, streamlining your download process. This extension intelligently detects preview videos and audio on web pages, allowing you to quickly download the content you need with just a few clicks. Whether it's online courses, music, or other multimedia files, you can effortlessly save them to your local storage. Additionally, FileCentipede supports quick identification and downloading of magnet links, making it convenient for you to obtain torrent files and meet diverse downloading needs. To cater to personalized requirements, you can create custom file types that support CSS selectors, file suffixes, MIME types, or regular expressions. This flexibility enables you to precisely control the types of files you want to download, enhancing efficiency and avoiding unnecessary clutter. The built-in resource browser allows you to easily preview and download images from web pages. You can batch preview all images on a page, quickly select, and download your favorite visual content, saving time compared to downloading them one by one. Furthermore, you can preview and download CSS and JS files, making it convenient for developers and designers to access the resources they need. The extension also automatically detects custom file types, ensuring you don’t miss any important files. In collector mode, you can batch preview or download over 1,000 videos and audio files across multiple web pages, significantly saving time and effort. You can manage your audio and video library effortlessly, just like using a music player, enjoying a seamless media experience. FileCentipede also provides a powerful desktop application that takes over the browser's download management functionality, significantly boosting download speeds. It supports mainstream protocols such as HTTP, FTP, SSH, magnet links, and Torrent, and can automatically parse other third-party protocols (like CURL, wget, aria2, axel, etc.) for a smoother downloading experience. Note: Please be aware that this browser extension requires the FileCentipede desktop application to function fully.
