Field notes
The project puts one Rust engine behind both a web app and a browser extension. The page describes separate quality selection for video and audio, local joining of HLS and DASH segments, and resumable transfers whose completed files are hashed with SHA-256. Optional local bridges handle sites requiring otherwise-forbidden request headers and provide torrent access; the homepage says those bridges run on the user’s machine rather than through an OpenDownloader server.
