WebExtension for Motrix download manager

Description from store
This WebExtension allows you to automatically download all the files via Motrix Download Manager instead of your browser's native download manager.
Please read the documentation before using the extension: https://github.com/gautamkrishnar/motrix-webextension#how-to-use
Motrix needs to be running in the background for this extension to work. This extension cannot launch Motrix automatically if it is not already running, due to API limitations. You can download the motrix download manager from here: https://motrix.app/

- (2025-07-06) Talha Ahmed: Works outta box, just follow the github instructions.
- (2025-04-24) Adam Hybel: Quick Installation Guide: 1. In Motrix App: Go to Preferences --> Advanced. 2. Find the RPC Secret. If it is empty, create one and copy it. 3. In Firefox Extension: Open the Options or Settings of the Motrix extension. 4. Paste the copied RPC Secret into the “RPC Secret (Token)” field. 5. Make sure that the RPC Listening Port (default 16800) matches in both Motrix and extension settings. 6. Save the extension settings. That's it! Keep Motrix running in the background. Motrix is one of the best download managers. It is open source and handles HTTP, FTP and Magnet connections efficiently. Thank you to the developers, I highly recommend you to use this extension and motrix!

- (2025-02-27) Bohdan: It work, but very bad. You supposed to copy link of file you want to download then using app you paste that link in URL.
- (2024-11-09) Atul Singh Chauhan: Usually I don't write reviews. But, thanks for this plugin. It works absolutely fine with the Motrix downloader (https://motrix.app/) after a simple change in settings. I would like to suggest to the developer to modify the instruction (https://github.com/gautamkrishnar/motrix-webextension#how-to-use) and include the screenshots of the final step. I was searching for a IDM alternative (free and easy) for some time. I was watching a list of free downloaders on YouTube. Initially, I tried JDownloader. But unluckily, it was not installing. Then I tried Motrix. I thought that since IDM has plugins on each browser, so probably browser plugin is essential for auto downloading. I searched Motrix on chrome plugin store and came to this.

- (2022-06-18) Mukti Subagja: I see a lot of people write a review saying that it does not work, but you need to set an RPC key first. On the motrix app press the settings icon (the one above the ? symbol) then go to advance and click the dice looking thing. DON'T close it or switch tab and CLICK save & apply. Then open the motrix web extension in your web browser and click the gear icon, it will open up a new tab. Copy the RPC key from the app into the web extension and then press set key. And then you're done! if you do the steps correctly your download should be re-routed to the motrix app. I do feel that these steps is a bit complicated and isn't really user friendly to the average joe, so some improvement might include an actual tutorial on how to set it up. Or just make the process more streamlined in general. Overall the app is great, it improve my download speed in some sites from 250 KB/s to 3MB/s.
