# KuDownloader

> KuDownloader is a free, open-source download manager for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, made by Kuduy (https://kuduy.com/). It downloads files over many connections at once, resumes after any interruption, saves videos and music from 1,000+ sites, handles torrents, and sends files between your own devices with KuAirSend. No ads, no accounts, no tracking.
