## Overview

Motrix is a clean, full-featured desktop download manager for HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, magnet links, and more.

**Motrix Turbo** is Motrix v2, rebuilt from the ground up with Electron, React, and TypeScript while keeping the clean, straightforward experience of v1. The download core is independent of the UI. Browser extensions and command-line tools communicate with the app over **MDXP** (Motrix Download eXchange Protocol), an open protocol built on JSON-RPC 2.0, while plugins run in isolated sandboxes.

The same core powers two ways to run Motrix:

- **Desktop app:** Runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux
- **Headless server:** Runs without a desktop environment, either directly on Node.js or in Docker, and includes a web UI for NAS devices and home servers

## Motrix 2.4.1

On Windows, downloads now try the remaining resolved server addresses when a connection fails.
This release also updates the translation libraries used by the desktop app, Web UI and Server CLI.
Download [v2.4.1 from GitHub Releases](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/releases/tag/v2.4.1)
and read the [full release notes](./docs/release-notes/2.4.1.md).

Back up your existing Motrix profile and downloads before upgrading. The bundled
engine upgrades its SQLite database to schema 6 and keeps a pre-upgrade backup;
older engines cannot open schema 6. Keep that backup if you may need to downgrade.
The desktop Migration Assistant imports selected v1 tasks as paused records and
preserves the original files. Resuming downloads requires a separate explicit
action. Windows in-place BitTorrent activation requires a supported local NTFS
volume and explicit authorization. See the [migration guide](./docs/legacy-migration.md)
for supported volumes, file permissions, and recovery. Keep the original v1 profile.
