Recovery
Refreshing does not cancel a PulseDL download
Downloads continue on the server after you refresh, switch tabs, or close the window. Use History or the recovery banner to save files when they finish.
Responsible use
Whether a download is permitted depends on the content, your rights to use it, the platform’s terms, and applicable law. Only download content you are authorized to download — for example your own uploads, material you have permission to save, Creative Commons content, or other uses allowed where you live. This is not legal advice. See Terms of Service and our Copyright page.
What still depends on you
The server file is not automatically on your disk. After completion, use Save in the progress panel or History. Files expire according to server retention. Completed audio size is the converted file, not the original video estimate.
