Questions and answers
Is it free?
Yes. Apollo Download Manager is free software under the GNU General Public License, version 3, with no ads, no paid tier and no account.
Which systems does it run on?
Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit), and 64-bit Linux: Ubuntu 22.04 and newer, Debian 12 and newer, Fedora and openSUSE.
Why does Windows warn me when I install it?
The installer isn't signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen says "Windows protected your PC" the first time. Choose More info, then Run anyway. The installing guide has the details.
Does it send anything about me anywhere?
No. It has no telemetry and no analytics, and connects only to the servers you download from. The privacy page lists what it keeps on your computer.
Can I use it next to the original Velocity Download Manager?
Yes. Apollo Download Manager has its own programs, menu entries and data, and installing or removing one never changes the other. See Beside Velocity Download Manager.
How do I send downloads from my browser?
Install the browser extension, then register your browser in the app's Settings, Browser. The extension isn't in the browser stores yet; the browser guide says how to set it up.
A download fails. What now?
The app shows why, in plain words, with what to try. The troubleshooting guide explains each message.
