Persepolis Download Manager 5.2.0

We are happy to announce the release of version 5.2.0 of Persepolis Download Manager.
This version includes several new features and important bugs have been fixed. Therefore, we strongly recommend all users to update to the new version.
Those who have kindly taken the responsibility of maintaining Persepolis for various distributions should note that some prerequisites for Persepolis have changed. Please visit this Persepolis wiki page before creating the Persepolis package.

Added Bundle for Linux Distributions
Users have often requested that Persepolis, like Windows and Mac, have a standalone version or a bundle for Linux distributions that can be downloaded and run with one click without worrying about installing prerequisites. This has happened in this version. You just need to download the Persepolis Linux bundle, make it executable if necessary, and easily run it with a double click. If you prefer this method, we recommend uninstalling previous versions before doing so. After the first run, the Persepolis bundle will automatically copy the .desktop file and the necessary icons to the required paths under the user's /home directory. It is important to note that we use nuitka to create the Persepolis Linux bundle, and for building for Mac and Windows, we use pyinstaller. The build process is fully automated and done via GitHub actions. Check out the automatic build repository.
We still welcome any one who are interested in creating and maintaining the Persepolis package for a distribution.

Persepolis Video finder has been improved.
Nowadays, many video sharing sites use the m3u8. The Persepolis Video Downloader had issues downloading from some of these sites. This issue has been improved.

In the new version of Persepolis, when you use the Persepolis Video Finder, the video thumbnail will be displayed for you, and the highest quality version will be automatically selected for download. However, you can choose lower quality versions if you wish.

You can install Persepolis on FreeBSD and its derived distributions.
Running Persepolis on FreeBSD and its derivatives had some issues. These issues have been resolved. Persepolis does not have an official package for FreeBSD, and the version available in the official FreeBSD repositories is very old. If anyone is interested in maintaining this package for the official FreeBSD repositories, we welcome it. This link provides installation instructions for Persepolis on FreeBSD.

New styles have been added or modified for different operating systems.
In Linux distributions and FreeBSD derivatives, by installing the Breeze package, the appearance of Persepolis will be aligned with GTK+ and QT desktops. If you are using the PySide6 version of Persepolis, we highly recommend installing the Breeze package on your operating system. We also kindly ask the respected maintainers to add this package to the prerequisites of Persepolis. This package is available in the Debian and Arch Linux repositories as breeze, in the Fedora repositories as plasma-breeze, and in the openSUSE repositories as breeze6. By installing this package and selecting the breeze style from the Persepolis settings window, the appearance of Persepolis will be reasonably aligned with your desktop. For example, the image below shows Persepolis on the Mate desktop env. .
VirtualBox_ghost bsd_14_07_2025_19_29_45
This image shows Persepolis on the XFCE desktop env., and as you can see, the breeze style has been selected from the style settings window.

The Breeze style is not available for the Persepolis Linux bundle.

The Windows 11 style has also been added for Windows users.
Capture
The Fusion style of Persepolis, which is available for the Persepolis Linux bundle and all operating systems, has been redesigned using the BreezeStyleSheets project.

Light theme

New notification sounds have been created for Persepolis.
Persepolis uses new notification sounds on Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac operating systems. These notification sounds are created with a setar(a Persian instrument). Therefore, there is no need to install the sound-theme-freedesktop package for Linux and FreeBSD distributions, and it should be removed from the prerequisites.

Many bugs have been fixed.
In previous versions of Persepolis, long downloads encountered a Read timed out error, and the user had to resume the download. This issue has been improved.
Persepolis used to occupy a large amount of user RAM when downloading large files. This issue has been resolved.
Persepolis had issues downloading files of unknown size. This issue has been fixed.
New downloads sometimes caused overwriting of incomplete downloads with the same file name. This issue has been resolved.
The issue with the video finder not working on the Windows operating system has been fixed.
We thank all contributors who reported bugs or help us in fixing them. Special thanks to @eajaykumar
The packages for Linux, Mac, and Windows will be uploaded soon.

Regards,

Occasionally, image files would become corrupted during downloads. This issue has been resolved.
Users of the Mate and XFCE desktop environments experienced a problem where the downloaded file would not be highlighted when clicking the "Open Folder" button at the end of the download. This bug has been fixed.

Passing header issue has been fixed.
wrong utf-8 file names has been fixed.

Maybe! In some distributions, download problems using Socks5 proxies are related to not installing the python3-pysocks package. I'm not sure about that!

New version of persepolis_lib has been released today.


Persepolis Download Manager 5.0.0

We are happy to announce the release of Persepolis Download Manager 5.0.0.
The biggest change of this version is that we removed Aria2 and wrote the codes of the downloader section ourselves. Persepolis is no longer a graphical interface for Aria2. it is an independent download manager. Soon the Persepolis downloader part (Persepolis_lib) will be released as a separate Python library in this repository to help other Python projects.
Why we replaced Aria2 with Persepolis_lib? Recently we had problems with Aria2:

Users had requested that the number of download connections be increased from 16, but Aria2 did not support more than 16 connections.

Aria2 does not support Socks5.

Persepolis communicated with Aria2 through xml rpc. Sometimes Aria2 crashed during communication and it was not easy to solve the problem.
Persepolis_lib supports 64 connections for downloading. Persepolis_lib supports Sock5 and HTTP proxies. Because Persepolis_lib is written by Python Requests, it no longer needs xml rpc. Pay attention that you can download HTTP and HTTPS links with Persepolis.


Persepolis Download Manager 4.3.0

We are happy to announce the release of Persepolis Download Manager 4.3.0.
In the previous versions, when the user sent a new link to Persepolis by the browser extension, the add link window was displayed and the download started after the user's confirmation. In this version, user can remove the step of showing the add link window and after sending the link by the browser extension, the download will start immediately. This feature is disabled by default. To enable this feature, open the Preferences window from the Edit menu. Check the last option from the preferences tab. Please note that in this case, the download will start with the default values (without proxy, etc.). If you want to set proxy or set download start and end time, etc., you should disable this feature.
Screenshot_%Y%M%D_%H%m%S

There was a bug in the Windows version of Persepolis. The program did not apply the changes after clicking the OK button in the preferences window. This bug has been fixed.

In operating systems where PySide6 is not available in their repositories (for example, Debian), Persepolis uses PyQ5 to run. After running Persepolis with PyQt5, this error was displayed in the terminal: "Attribute Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling must be set before QCoreApplication is created."
This bug has been fixed.
PySide6 is the official Python module from the Qt for Python project and unfortunately It is not available in Debian repositories. PyQt6 is unofficial and it is available in Debian repositories. I hope PySide6 will be available in Debian distribution.

Thanks to contributors for pull requests and bug reports!

Also, Persepolis can automatically detect links in the clipboard. This feature is not active by default. You can enable this feature from the preferences window(Edit > Preferences > Preferences tab > check system clipboard for copied links). Persepolis can check the clipboard only when the main window is displayed.
