Rivlet
A modern, free and beautiful download manager for Windows
Rivlet is a free download manager for Windows 11 — no ads, no telemetry, no subscription. It splits each file across a number of connections so big downloads finish a lot faster. Connect Chrome or Edge once, and it grabs your downloads in one click, including full-res video, with control over quality and where files save. Categories, queues, pause/resume, and proper light and dark themes keep everything tidy. Fast like IDM, minus the 2005 interface.
I've used IDM for something like 20 years. It's fast—but it looks stuck in 2005, and it never stops nagging you. So I finally built the download manager I actually wanted: Rivlet.
What it does:
Fast. It splits each file across a number of connections and stitches it back together, so big downloads finish way quicker.
One-click browser capture. Connect Chrome or Edge once, and Rivlet grabs your downloads as you click—including full-res video, with control over quality and where it saves.
Actually organized. Categories, queues, pause/resume, and a clean view of what's downloading, how fast, and how long is left.
Built for Windows 11. Real light and dark themes, plus density, text size, and accessibility options.
Free. No ads, no telemetry, no throttling, no subscriptions. For real.
I'd love to hear what you'd change—what's the one thing your current download manager gets wrong? I'll be around all day.
