I was sipping some coffee this morning and it hit me – I have written about managers for downloading wallpapers, fonts, notes, etc. but never about download manager apps. Today, let me introduce you to a relatively recent download manager application to end your management worries.
Persepolis is a free, open-source download manager currently developed for multiple desktop OS platforms. It is named after Persepolis, former ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire in the years 550 – 330 BCE and it is known for its unique architecture.
Persepolis was written in Python with a GUI for aria2. It boasts a beautiful User Interface compliant with your system theme and offers users a smooth downloading experience.
Features in Persepolis Download Manager
- A simple and clean theme-compliant Graphical User Interface.
- 100% free to download and use.
- Support for multi-segment downloading
- Set downloads ahead of time using schedules.
- Organize your downloads using queues.
- Download videos from Vimeo, DailyMotion, YouTube, etc.
- Support for integration with modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, and Vivaldi.
Persepolis was first released in 2015 and it has come a long way since then. Especially given that it has had only 7 contributors since its inception. While it is updated as regularly as possible, feel free to give the dev team a helping hand in any way you can.
