Batch workflow

Manage video downloads in a persistent desktop queue.

Import multiple eligible URLs or review a supported collection, then schedule selected items with visible task states, retry controls, and queue recovery after restarting DownloaderAI.

Download for Windows

Keep multi-file work visible

A group of authorized links is difficult to manage when each download is isolated. Queue states make pending, active, completed, failed, and canceled work easier to review.

Import, review, then schedule

DownloaderAI separates invalid and duplicate URLs, lets you review collection results, and adds selected items to a persistent queue with configurable workers.

Workflow

How to use this workflow

Step 1

Add permitted links

Paste multiple URLs, import a TXT list, or preview a supported collection.

Step 2

Review the items

Remove duplicates or invalid entries and select only the media you intend to save.

Step 3

Run the queue

Start configured workers and use pause, resume, cancel, or retry controls as needed.

Step 4

Recover after restart

Reopen the app and restore queued task state before continuing the schedule.

Use cases

Where it fits

Owned channel backups

Queue public uploads that you own and are permitted to retain.

Authorized project media

Track a set of approved source URLs without losing task status.

Research batches

Organize permitted public references and review failures individually.

Safety and privacy boundaries

  • Batching does not expand access rights or bypass platform controls.
  • DownloaderAI does not import cookies, credentials, account sessions, or proxies.
  • A retry repeats an eligible task; it does not bypass login, rate, DRM, payment, CAPTCHA, private-content, or regional restrictions.

Known limitations

  • Collection support depends on the platform and link type; arbitrary playlists are not promised.
  • Concurrency is configured and finite; the app does not promise unlimited workers.
  • Upstream changes, rate limits, missing media, or access restrictions can still cause failures.

Frequently asked questions

Can DownloaderAI import more than one URL?

Yes. The current desktop workflow accepts multiple URLs and TXT imports, with invalid and duplicate entries separated for review.

Does the queue survive an app restart?

Queued task state is persistent and can be restored after restarting the app.

Does Retry bypass a platform error?

No. Retry can repeat a task, but it cannot bypass access controls, login requirements, DRM, payment, CAPTCHA, or regional restrictions.

Is concurrency unlimited?

No. Workers are configurable, but DownloaderAI does not promise unlimited parallel downloads.
