Persepolis

Persepolis is a free, open‑source download manager written in Python and available for GNU/Linux, BSD, macOS and Windows. It supports multi‑segment downloading, which splits files into several parts to accelerate transfer, and offers scheduling and queuing features that let users organize when and how downloads run. The program also includes a video‑finder tool that can locate and retrieve media from sites such as YouTube, Vimeo and DailyMotion.

The software is packaged for a range of Linux distributions—including Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora and openSUSE—through native packages, a portable bundle, or AUR builds, and it provides simple installation steps for macOS (a copied .app) and Windows (an installer). Users can customize the interface with different styles and notification sounds, and the project supplies documentation for proxy configuration, browser integration and source compilation.

Persepolis targets users who need a flexible, cross‑platform solution for managing large or multiple downloads, especially those who prefer a community‑driven, freely licensed tool. Its distinctive aspects are the multi‑segment engine, built‑in video extraction, and extensive platform support while remaining a stable, mature release.
