Download Guide
Our website provides links to download open source software via magnet links, mirror links, and direct links. Please read our Terms of Service and Copyright Statement before downloading, all software is subject to their respective open source licenses.
Download Link Types and Priorities
- Magnet Links (Highest Priority): These links use BitTorrent (BT) technology and require a BT client to download. We recommend them due to their speed and reliability, especially for large files.
- Mirror Links (Second Priority): These are alternate download URLs hosted by third-party servers. Click to download directly in your browser.
- Direct Links (Lowest Priority): These are single-server download URLs. They are simpler, but may be slower or less reliable than magnet or mirror links. Click to download directly in your browser.
How to Download
Magnet links are our recommended download method due to their decentralized nature and efficiency. Please follow the steps below:
- Step 1: Install BT client: Download and install a BT client, such as qBittorrent (recommended), uTorrent, Transmission.
- Step 2: Click on the magnet link: On the download page of the software, find the magnet link icon. Click on the link and your BT client will automatically open.
- Step 3: Start downloading: In the BT client, select the location to save the file and confirm the download. The download speed depends on the number of peers/seed users. To speed up the download, make sure the software has an active seed user community.
- Step 4: Verify the file: After the download is complete, verify the integrity of the file. Please use the sha256 generation tool (Linux, macOS users are recommended to use the sha256sum command line tool) and make sure its value matches the sha256 value we provide.
