ZenDownloader currently only supports Windows and Debian based Linux (AMD, Intel).

Visit the readme for information on installing: Installing

Note: This is a pretty big update. There might be some issues.

Update Info (Newest To Oldest):

The default download folder is now in /user_folder/zen_downloads/

  • Also fixed an issue where it wasn't attempting to create these folders.

Added support for episodes with 2 videos.

  • Works in the same thread, so you must wait for the 2nd one to complete if found.
  • Has the same name as the first, but it's append with "-01" such as Shimo Episode 1-01 (720p).mp4
  • Works the same as the first video download on it's separate coroutine including it's own retries etc.

it's name is appended like that for sorting

Now when low quality is selected, but not available, it falls back to med.

Removed auto scroll from random home series and made it optional in AppInfo.

Added timeouts to certain actions inside SimpleVideoDownloader that are based on your timeout settings.

  • These should ensure that no hangs occur.

Fixed all m3u8 downloader warnings

Now when the video downloader fails to find the file size it
retries twice. If failed twice it starts to remove certain qualities and
retries with what's available.

  • After some testing I have found that file size fails means the video just isn't available
    even if it's been detected.
  • It'll loop like this a couple times until the retries hit max.
  • Might scrape for the qualities again.
  • If this keeps failing then check wco for that video and see if you get errors.

Reduced max retries to 5.

Home random series now has auto scroll.

  • stops when hovered over any image

Home Random series now only include series with cached images.

  • this prevents lag for people who haven't downloaded the huge amount of images.

The main page is now scrollable.

Added a donate option to main page options.

Added an option to toggle CTRL for hot keys.

Moved all update asset options to a new window in settings.

  • Opened by pressing the "Update Options" button.

Added a little hack to hide the blank headless window on chrome 129.

Added a way to download m3u8 videos officially.

  • Supports video resuming, cancellation and works the same as regular downloads.
  • Pools all ts downloads and is fast & efficient.
  • Downside is the file won't be created until it's finished, so the download will show "File Not Found"
  • Also it's not going to show the file size before downloading.

The main page is now a Scaffold to prevent overlapping.

Added 2 new rows of random series to the main page.

  • Horizontally draggable, side scrollable
  • Clicking them opens the download window
  • Series are randomized everytime you launch the app
  • 25 each row of unique series unless the database has less than 50.
  • shows no movies

Would be lazy but that lags too much.
