Download accelerator & scheduler

Download accelerator, scheduler and more. Done properly.

A download accelerator with a careful engine, a download scheduler and the organising tools you know from classic download managers, plus first-class video downloads and an interface built for Windows 10 and 11.

The compact BLBOL window with the download list and details pane.
The BLBOL Download File Info dialog: file name, address, category, save location and description.

Download engine

Download accelerator: faster downloads that finish cleanly

Up to 32 connections per file, split and rebalanced while the download runs, and written straight into the final file.

The BLBOL details pane: the segment map with eight connections, the size, progress, save folder and address, the transfer rate, time left, resume capability and a live speed graph.
Up to 32 connections
Each file is split across parallel connections: up to 8 per file by default, adjustable up to 32, and BLBOL adds them only while they make the download faster.
Dynamic segmentation
A connection that finishes early takes over the part with the most time left, split at a speed-weighted point, so no single slow connection holds up the end.
No merge step
For regular downloads, the final file is reserved on disk at the start and every connection writes into its own range, so at 100% there is nothing to assemble. Video and audio streams are joined without re-encoding right after they finish.
Resume downloads
Progress is saved as you go. After a crash, a reboot or a lost connection, BLBOL can resume downloads where they stopped, when the server supports it. How resuming works.
Automatic link refresh
If a download address expires, BLBOL refreshes it automatically when the site allows, or in one click, and checks that it points to the same file before continuing.
Smart retries
Temporary errors are retried with growing pauses, and servers that limit connections automatically get fewer.

Organise

Categories, queues and a download scheduler

Downloads sort themselves, run in the order you choose and finish while you are away.

The BLBOL sidebar: download categories (Compressed, Documents, Music, Programs, Video) and queues.
  • Categories. Compressed, Documents, Music, Programs and Video, each with its own folder. Add your own with file-type rules.
  • Queues. Line up downloads in queues and choose how many run at once.
  • Scheduler. Start a queue at a set time, stop it at another, and let Windows sleep or shut down when everything is done.
  • Speed limiter. Limit everything, one queue or a single download, so video calls and games stay smooth.
  • Duplicates. Choose whether BLBOL asks, saves with a new name or replaces the existing file.
  • Download later. Add files now with Download Later and start them whenever you like.

Capture

Get links in from anywhere

From the browser, the clipboard, a whole web page or a numbered series of files.

The empty BLBOL window with Add URL, Paste link and a link to install the browser extension.
  1. Browser extension

    Automatic capture, right-click downloads and media detection in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi and Opera. More about the extension.

  2. Clipboard

    Copy a link and press Ins: the address is already filled in. Turn on clipboard watching and BLBOL offers every link you copy.

  3. Link Grabber

    Scan a web page and the pages it links to, filter by file type, extension or pattern, and add the files you want to a queue.

  4. Batch download

    Paste a list of addresses or a pattern such as photo[001-120].jpg to add a whole numbered series at once.

  5. Drag and drop

    Drop links, or text that contains links, onto the BLBOL window to add them.

  6. Sign-in and referrer

    Downloads that need a user name, a password or a referrer can be added with them from the Add URL dialog.
