About pyLoad

pyLoad is an open source download manager that runs on your own server. It handles downloads from hundreds of file hosting services, manages queues, and extracts archives automatically. You control everything through a browser-based interface or mobile apps, no desktop client needed.

It supports over 100 plugins for file hosts like RapidGator, Uploaded, and Mega, plus captcha recognition via services like 2Captcha and DeathByCaptcha. pyLoad runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS, and can be installed via Docker or pip. The project started as a fork of the original pyLoad and is maintained by a community of contributors.

This tool is ideal for anyone who wants a persistent download station on a home server or VPS. It is free software released under the GPLv3 license. Notable for its active development and plugin ecosystem, it remains one of the few self-hosted download managers with broad hoster support.
