Release notes

Every release with its files is also on GitHub Releases.

0.5.0
  • Torrent downloads: magnet links and .torrent files, from the browser, the clipboard or a file on your PC
  • Unfinished downloads resume by themselves when Gale starts, and downloads that failed because the connection dropped are retried
  • The video quality menu is ready sooner: Gale reads the qualities when a video page opens or when you point at a video
  • Saved videos are named after the title only, without the video id
  • Videos and audio go to the Video and Music categories
  • The tray speed limit menu shows the limit set in Settings
0.4.0
  • New one-file setup that also installs Microsoft Edge WebView2 when it's missing, then opens Gale
  • Installs for all users in Program Files with one administrator prompt
  • Installing a new version updates Gale in place, closes a running copy first and keeps your list
  • Replaces older per-user installs automatically and fixes browser connection problems they could cause
  • Quality menu on videos in the browser: pick 1080p, 720p, 360p or audio and the download starts, without opening Gale

  • Press Ctrl+V in Gale, or drag links onto it, to add copied links
  • Video tools can now be updated without administrator rights
