Downloader
Links, quality choices, queues, subtitles, and download history.
Add a link
Type, paste, or drop a link into Downloader. After analysis, Thunder shows the title, preview, and available quality choices.
Choose the output
- Video creates a ready-to-play file with audio.
- Video only keeps the source video stream.
- Audio keeps the source audio track.
- MP3 creates a converted audio version.
- Subtitles saves the selected track as
.srt.
The actual choices depend on the source and current yt-dlp version.
Queue
Tasks can start immediately or stay in the persistent queue. Thunder prevents duplicates and runs up to two downloads in parallel, depending on your setting.
History
History supports search, source filters, sorting, repeat download, file and folder actions, and CSV/JSON export. Removing a history record and deleting a local file are separate actions.
