Motrix Next 3.9.3

Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools.

Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management.

Motrix Next features:

• Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks
• BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing
• Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons)
• Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization
• Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite
• Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits
• Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling
• System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext://
• Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive
• Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion
• Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection
• Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases
• Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback
• Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection
