Downloady 1.0.1 is available for Windows x64. This release introduces installation from the Updates window while preserving your settings and download session.
Update directly in Downloady
- Download and install a new version with the Update button.
- Follow download progress, received and total bytes, transfer speed and estimated time remaining.
- Check the release size, SHA-256, package layout and executable versions before closing the current application.
- Save the download session, replace application files and restart automatically. Interrupted transfers remain available to resume.
- Restore the previous files if installation fails. Personal settings and downloaded files are preserved.
A clearer Updates window
- Publication dates use the computer's local time in dd/mm/YYYY HH:mm:ss format.
- The Update button replaces the download link and explanatory footnotes.
- Closing and repeated actions are locked during the update. If package preparation fails, the existing application stays open and you can retry.
Upgrading from 1.0
The automatic installer is available from 1.0.1. If you are using 1.0, download this ZIP and install it manually first. Keep the supplied Downloady folder structure intact.
Installation needs write access to the Downloady folder and Windows PowerShell. The updater does not request administrator privileges.
The existing Firefox add-on remains compatible. Reload an unpacked Chrome extension after replacing its files.
