Many friends are old users of Xunlei. However, in recent years, due to changes in the environment, Xunlei's experience is sometimes not satisfactory. It is becoming more and more like a browser. At the same time, many resources cannot be downloaded, which makes people crazy. Many people plan to use other download software, but few products are as full-featured as Xunlei, and their performance is uneven. Recently, someone recommended a super versatile downloader file centipede to the author. After a try, it turned out to be extraordinary. Let's take a look!

The first thing to praise is that file centipede is an open-source and free software. It has published all the source code on GitHub. It is very green and environment-friendly. It has no rogue background and no advertising. Compared with peers who pop up inexplicably, it can be regarded as a clean stream. The file centipede is easy to use. After unzipping it, run the EXE once, complete the registration of related services, and then complete the installation.
As you can see, the file centipede interface is very simple. Among them, we can easily find various required functions. Let's start with the function and look at some of its features.
It is not difficult to find that the file centipede supports not only ordinary HTTP download, but also BT download. In fact, it can also support thunderbolt and qqdl links, and the supported download protocols are very comprehensive.
It should be noted that in the setting, you can also see that the file centipede has the support of ed2k electric mule link, and the file centipede is indeed associated with ed2k link. However, the file centipede has not yet downloaded the electric mule resources, and this function should not be completed. However, it is obvious that the file centipede has plans to support ed2k links. It is expected that the file centipede will be used to download the electric mule in the future version.
Many functions of file centipede are commendable. For example, it supports shielding blood sucking clients. For Xunlei, a blood sucking client that only sucks traffic from other clients but does not return data to the public BT network during BT downloading, it can block it and contribute to a healthier BT downloading environment.
After installing the browser extension, the file centipede also supports web video downloading. File centipede supports Firefox and chrome browsers (including edge, etc.). After opening the web video, a floating window for video download will automatically appear. You can download video resources with one click. The speed is very ideal.
In terms of download speed, the performance of file centipede is also satisfactory. In the author's simple test, whether it is HTTP download or BT download, the file centipede can achieve an ideal speed. Of course, if you want to fine tune the download, such as limiting the upload or download speed, setting the number of concurrent connections, etc., the file centipede can also do so. After reasonable settings, the download will not affect the opening speed of the web page.
In general, the file centipede is an excellent all-round downloader. It has comprehensive functions and supports many download protocols including Xunlei and whirlwind. It will be perfect when the future version further supports the e-mule link. At the same time, it also supports downloading web videos. It has the strength of open source software, supports shielding blood sucking clients, and its own style is clean. It provides users with high-speed download services without bringing other problems of doing nothing. Interested friends may wish to try it!
