Site Notes
Special operations and restrictions for each site.
Bilibili
After logging in, you can download higher quality. Settings → Bilibili Download → Account Login supports QR code login and manual Cookie import.
| Quality | Requirement |
|---|---|
| 480P and below | No login required |
| 720P / 1080P | Login required |
| 1080P+ / 4K / HDR / Dolby | VIP membership required |
For multi-part videos, select the parts to download in the confirmation window. Subtitles and covers are fetched automatically; check them in the confirmation window.
The fallback strategy when a quality is unavailable can be configured in Settings → Bilibili Download.
YouTube
It is recommended to use the extension's download button (automatically carries login cookies). When pasting a link directly, if a video requires login, GD will try to use saved cookies.
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Member-only / age-restricted videos | Use the download button (automatically carries cookies) |
| Captcha / frequent 403 | Change IP or proxy, wait a while |
| Incomplete quality options | Confirm you are logged in with an account that has membership |
Playlists: paste a playlist link, then select the videos to download.
yt-dlp runtime is required. On first use, install it in Settings.
GitHub Releases
When a direct connection to GitHub is not available, enable Settings → GitHub Accelerator. GD includes multiple proxy sites (gh-proxy.com, ghfast.top, etc.) and automatically tests speeds to choose the fastest. You can also enter a custom proxy site.
When no proxy site is available, it automatically falls back to a direct connection.
HuggingFace
After pasting a model repository link, files are listed automatically. Check the ones you need to download.
Settings → HuggingFace lets you configure:
- Mirror site (default hf-mirror.com)
- Access Token (fill in when downloading models that require authorization, such as Llama, Mistral)
Douyin
The extension download button supports it directly. HD videos automatically merge video and audio tracks.
X (Twitter)
The extension download button supports it directly. Videos are downloaded as HLS streams.
Instagram / Facebook
The extension download button supports it directly. Video and audio are downloaded separately and then merged automatically.
