Motrix is a full-featured, open-source desktop download manager supporting HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, magnet links, and Metalink, built on Electron with an aria2-based download core. Version 2 (Motrix Turbo) adds a headless server mode with a web UI for NAS devices, plus a plugin system and browser extension integration over an open JSON-RPC protocol.
Use cases
- download files over http and ftp with pause and resume
- download torrents and magnet links with tracker management
- run a headless download manager on a NAS or home server with a web UI
- send download links from the browser to a desktop download manager
- manage download tasks with speed limits and prioritization
- self-host a docker download manager without a desktop environment
When to choose
- you want a clean, modern GUI download manager across macOS, Windows, and Linux
- you need one app for both HTTP downloads and BitTorrent/magnet links
- you want a local-first downloader with no account required
- you need a headless downloader with web UI for NAS or Docker
When to avoid
- you need a lightweight CLI-only downloader (use aria2 directly)
- you rely on v1 data migration - v2 beta migration is not yet validated
- you need a fully stable v2 experience, which is still in beta
