Ahmed Download Manager EN

Ahmed Download Manager connects your browser with the Ahmed Download Manager desktop application on the same PC, making it easier to move downloads, media links, and supported video pages out of the browser and into a dedicated download manager. Based on the package, the extension works as a local bridge through 127.0.0.1 on port 7531, so its main purpose is not to download files by itself, but to pass download information from the browser to the companion app. This creates a smoother workflow for users who want the browser to trigger downloads while the desktop application handles them separately. The extension focuses on convenience by combining automatic capture, right-click download actions, and an on-page video panel for supported sites and media elements.

When automatic capture is enabled, the extension watches for new browser downloads and checks whether they match its handling rules. It is designed to work with HTTP and HTTPS downloads and intentionally leaves very small files under 1 MB in the browser instead of redirecting everything. For larger supported downloads, it sends details such as the file URL, filename, and referrer to the local Ahmed Download Manager app. If the handoff succeeds, the browser download is canceled and removed from the browser download list, and the user receives a confirmation notification. This allows the browser to act as the starting point while the desktop manager becomes the primary tool for handling the actual download task.

The extension also offers manual control through context menu integration. It adds right-click options for links, media, and page content, allowing users to send a link, image, audio file, video, or page-related item directly to Ahmed Download Manager. This is useful when users do not want every eligible download to be captured automatically, or when they want to choose individual items one by one. The package shows that referrer information is included when sending these requests, helping preserve page context for the desktop application.

Another notable feature is the floating “Download this video” panel injected into regular web pages. When the content script detects a suitable video element and the user hovers over it, the extension can display a small overlay near the video with a download action and a close button. Clicking the panel sends either the detected video source or, on certain known video and social media domains, the current page URL to the background process so it can be forwarded to the local app. The implementation also includes user-facing messaging for cases where a page needs to be refreshed after an extension update, helping reduce confusion if an older injected script is still active.

The popup is intentionally simple and practical. It includes a “Capture downloads” toggle for quickly enabling or disabling automatic interception, along with a live connection indicator that checks whether the local Ahmed Download Manager app is running. This makes it easier to understand whether transfers are likely to succeed. The package also shows a local handshake process that sends browser name and extension version information to the companion app so the desktop side can recognize that browser integration is available.

The extension is built for Chromium-based browsers and identifies environments such as Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Yandex, and Vivaldi. At the same time, the package clearly centers its function on sending downloads from the browser to the Ahmed Download Manager application on the user’s computer. It uses browser permissions related to downloads, storage, notifications, context menus, and access to the local loopback address required for companion app communication. The implementation also contains specific limitations: YouTube-related pages are excluded from content script injection, and related context menu handling is deliberately avoided there, so users should not expect the video overlay or right-click actions to function on those pages.

Overall, Ahmed Download Manager is best suited for users who already use the Ahmed Download Manager desktop application and want a faster, simpler way to pass downloads and media from the browser into that local program. It keeps browser-side interaction lightweight while giving users both automatic and manual ways to transfer supported content to the desktop manager.

Key Features:
- Automatic download capture for supported browser downloads, with larger items handed off to the local desktop app.
- Smart size filtering that leaves files under 1 MB in the browser instead of redirecting every download.
- Right-click menu actions for links, images, audio, video, and page-related content.
- Floating “Download this video” panel that appears over detected video elements on supported pages.
- Popup toggle to quickly enable or disable the capture feature.
- Live connection status indicator that checks whether the Ahmed Download Manager app is running locally.
- Local communication through 127.0.0.1 with browser and extension version reporting during connection setup.

How It Works:
1. Install the extension and make sure the Ahmed Download Manager desktop application is running on the same PC.
2. Open the extension popup to check the connection status and turn “Capture downloads” on or off.
3. Start a normal browser download; if it is a supported HTTP or HTTPS download over 1 MB, the extension sends it to the local app.
4. If the transfer succeeds, the original browser download is canceled and removed from the browser’s download list.
5. For manual use, right-click a link, image, audio file, video, or page and choose the Ahmed Download Manager option.
6. On supported pages, hover over a video element to show the floating “Download this video” panel and click it to send the item to the desktop app.
7. If the app is not connected or a page needs refreshing after an update, the extension provides status or guidance so you can retry.
