September 2, 2026 Show IH: Erupt‑DM, a multi‑thread Windows download manager, alternative to IDM

Hey Indie Hackers, I built Erupt‑DM because I was tired of existing download managers’ limitations when dealing with web‑streaming videos. Tools like IDM can grab M3U8 streams, but they only download fragmented files. You have to manually merge pieces before you get a playable video file. This extra step is really annoying for daily use. Erupt‑DM is a Windows‑only multi‑thread download manager that solves this pain point. Key features: • Multi‑segment accelerated downloading • Native M3U8 parsing & live stream recording • Output complete playable media files, no manual merging required • Chrome & Edge browser extension + clipboard monitoring • 14‑day full‑function free trial This is a bootstrapped side project built by one developer. macOS support is planned for later. I would love your feedback. What features would you expect from a modern download manager? Project site: https://eruptdm.com

I built Erupt‑DM because existing download managers are inconvenient for M3U8 video downloading, requiring troublesome post‑merging work. I wanted a clean, fast Windows download tool that outputs ready‑to‑play video file
