Features & Capabilities

Live Stream Downloader is a powerful Chrome extension designed to detect and download M3U8 HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) video streams directly onto your local disk. It intelligently detects all available video qualities on the active tab and leverages multiple threads to accelerate download speeds while seamlessly writing data directly to disk to ensure crash-safe saving. The extension supports automatic merging of segmented streams, retrying failed segments after disconnections, and resuming downloads gracefully during network interruptions. With features like keeping the system awake during downloads and the ability to download any arbitrary file using multi-threading, it serves as an efficient tool for both streaming video capture and general fast downloads. Whether you want to store segmented streams for offline viewing or download large files quickly and reliably, this extension provides robust, user-friendly functionality suitable for unstable networks or high-speed needs.
