About this extension
Resilient Downloader helps you transfer downloads from your browser to the local Resilient Downloader desktop app, so large files stay stable on unreliable connections.

Instead of downloading big files only inside the browser, the extension intercepts download requests and sends them to the desktop app through a secure local connection. The app can then handle downloads with advanced reliability controls.

What this extension does
  • Intercepts browser downloads and hands them off to the local Resilient Downloader app.
  • Auto-connects to the app on startup/install (bootstrap mode), so most users need no manual setup.
  • Stores local connection settings (port/token) for fast reconnection.
  • Provides an options page for advanced manual override (custom port/token).
  • Includes a popup with connection status and a quick connection test.
  • Falls back to normal browser download if app handoff is unavailable (when fallback is enabled).

Why use it
  • Better reliability for large downloads.
  • Cleaner workflow for managing many files.
  • Improved control through desktop download management features.

Requirements
  • The local Resilient Downloader desktop app must be installed and running.
  • The extension communicates only with local endpoints on http://127.0.0.1/*.

Privacy
  • The extension does not require cloud account login.
  • It works locally between your browser and your own desktop app.
