05 / GOOD QUESTIONSLET’S CLEAR
LET’S CLEAR
THINGS UP.
No fine print.
Here’s how it works.
Is it really free?+
Yes. There is no trial, subscription or locked paid feature tier. The software is open source under GPL-3.0-or-later.
Is it always faster than IDM?+
It would be inaccurate to promise this for every server. The upstream project’s published test shows an advantage in seven scenarios. The benchmark page lists the specific conditions and values.
Where is the Chrome extension?+
Inside the installation folder: extension/chromium. Load it manually with Load unpacked. A guide and a separate archive are provided. Our edition is not published in the Chrome Web Store.
Can I use it without installing?+
Yes, using the portable ZIP package. Extract it into a permanent folder. Browser integration also needs native-host registration; the installer is the easiest option.
Does this website collect my data?+
The site has no analytics scripts, tracking cookies, registrations or database. Your hosting provider may keep standard technical access logs.
Who makes LOD Zephyrus?+
LOD Corporation develops and publishes this edition. It is based on the open-source Mister Download Manager project by Ahmed Nefzaoui and contributors. Copyright notices and licenses are preserved.
