TOTEMGet splits a file across up to sixteen connections, survives a dropped Wi-Fi or a closed laptop, and picks up exactly where it stopped. Native Swift, no Electron, no account, and nothing about your downloads ever leaves your Mac.
Built for the way files actually arrive on a Mac: big, slow, throttled, and from servers that drop the connection halfway.
One file, many parallel ranges. On a server that throttles a single stream, that is the whole difference between minutes and hours.
Progress is written to disk as it happens, not held in memory. Quit the app, close the lid, lose power — it continues from the exact byte.
When one range completes early it takes over the back half of whichever range is lagging. No download waits on its unluckiest connection.
An extension for Chrome, Edge, Brave and Arc hands the link over with its cookies, referrer and user agent, so pages behind a login still work.
Point it at a page and it can pull the media through yt-dlp, then check the result with ffprobe. Off by default, and it uses the tools you install yourself.
Video, Audio, Images, Documents, Compressed, Programs. The type is decided from what the server actually sends, not from a guess at the URL.
Cap how many run at once, reorder them, and give the queue a daily window so the heavy ones move at 02:00 and stop before you wake up.
It recognises part1.rar, .r00, .z01 and .001 sets, waits until every piece is there, and unpacks with the tools already on your Mac.
Save a username and password per host for the file lockers that need one. They live in macOS Keychain and are sent only to the host they belong to.
Cap the whole app so a big file does not eat the call you are on.
HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5. A change never disturbs a transfer already running.
Fetch a page, filter by type, queue the ones you tick.
Hash a finished file and compare it against a published checksum.
A tool that carries your cookies and your saved passwords has to be judged on what it sends elsewhere. TOTEMGet sends nothing.
update.totemget.com. It carries no identifier and you can switch it off.Yes. No trial, no paid tier, no upsell inside the app.
macOS 14 Sonoma and later. One universal build runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
No. The app is signed with an Apple Developer ID, notarized by Apple and stapled, so it opens on a Mac that has never seen it before — even offline.
Not for catching downloads. Safari gives extensions no access to the download system, so this only works in Chrome, Edge, Brave and Arc. You can always paste a link into the app itself.
Only for video pages, and only if you turn that feature on — it ships switched off. TOTEMGet does not bundle those tools; it uses the copies you install yourself, with Homebrew for example. Everything else works without them.
Your Downloads folder by default, sorted into a folder per file type. You can change the folder, or turn the sorting off, in Settings.
TOTEMGet is a general-purpose transfer tool and does not choose, host or check any content. Holding the rights to what you download, and respecting the terms of the sites you use, is yours to judge. Note that downloading from YouTube conflicts with YouTube's terms whatever tool is used.
