Version history

Proxy support for every download, video downloads and the update check; SOCKS5 and HTTP, with a user name and password

Three connection modes — follow the system, no proxy, or a manual address — plus a list of hosts that always connect directly

A proxy that cannot be reached is now named as the cause, instead of blaming the link

A help link in the proxy settings opens the full guide

A failed update check no longer retries on every launch and every hour

Version numbers are now two parts: 3.0 replaces the 0.9 line

An automatic update check no longer interrupts you — a short notice and a badge by the title, once per version

File integrity check: paste the published hash and PDM confirms the file is intact

A lighter download list, and old installers are cleaned up automatically

Fixes: sorting files, hiding categories, and selecting rows

Multi-select: a checkbox column beside every row, and a toolbar that acts on exactly what you picked

Usage report: how much you downloaded by day and month, with a quota alert and a CSV export

Grab many links at once: right-click a page or a text selection, then pick exactly what to download from the list (needs the updated browser extension)

Send an idea or report a problem from inside PDM, in the Help menu — optionally attaching diagnostics, with a reply by email
