Version history

Everything that got better in each update.

AI New feature Improvement Fix Security

3.5

Latest version November 2026

Smart search. Files are found by the meaning of their names, even when a name is in another language

New

A "Download complete" window to open the file or its folder in one click

New

A warning before you download a file you already have

New

A "Cancel" button in the download window. The download stops, and the part already received is kept so you can resume later

Improved

Faster downloads that make full use of every connection you set

Fixed

Resuming from some servers that used to stop with an error now works

3.4

October 2026

New

Smart categories: every file is saved in the right folder once it finishes downloading — videos in Video, archives in Compressed. The file's properties show why it went there

Built-in AI recognises series, movies, courses, podcasts and books from the file name and gives each its own folder. It runs on your own computer, and file names are never sent anywhere. Move a file to another category and PDM learns from it

New

Add many links at once: write them in a text file, then choose "Import links from text file…" in the Downloads menu

Security

A program that poses as a video or document (for example movie.mp4.exe) is flagged with a warning, so you don't run it by accident. A tampered link can no longer save a file outside your download folder

Fixed

Speed limits now work on video downloads, same-name files no longer overwrite each other, "Move to…" no longer leaves a copy behind, and downloads from sites such as Wikimedia that used to fail now work

3.3

September 2026

New

Download a whole YouTube playlist or channel: pick the videos, they are numbered and saved in their own folder

New

Aparat videos download reliably now, and when the uploader has switched downloads off PDM says so instead of failing

New

A video whose link expires mid-download retries itself instead of waiting for you

New

A finished video showed the wrong size until the app was reopened

3.2

September 2026

New

Cancelling or removing an unfinished download now deletes its leftover temporary files

New

A download whose file changed on the server starts over cleanly instead of failing every retry

New

Send an idea or report a problem, and the update screen, redesigned

New

The "download service could not be started" message no longer stays on screen while the service is running

New

Lower memory and processor use while dialogs are closed

All of this is one click away

PDM tells you when a new version is out — just install the current one.
