Convert HTTP/HTTPS file URLs into dedicated download links for Thunder, FlashGet, and QQ Xuanfeng to use with various download clients.
Enter link to start conversion
When you have a direct file link but cannot download it directly using tools like Thunder or FlashGet, this tool solves your problem. The core function of the Download Link Converter is to take standard HTTP or HTTPS file download links and, through specific encoding protocols, convert them into dedicated link formats recognized by specialized download managers like Thunder, FlashGet, and QQ Xuanfeng. It processes a valid network resource URL and outputs dedicated download addresses in three different protocols (thunder://, flashget://, qqdl://).
Q: How do I use the converted Thunder link?
A: Copy the link starting with "thunder://", then open the Thunder software. It will usually recognize the link automatically and add the download task. This is the most common and straightforward method.
Q: Does this tool support converting magnet links or FTP links?
A: No, it does not. This tool is exclusively for converting standard HTTP and HTTPS direct file links. Protocols like magnet links (magnet:), FTP, and ed2k require their own dedicated conversion tools or built-in downloader support.
Please ensure the link you enter is a valid, publicly accessible direct file link. The conversion process itself does not verify whether the file exists or is downloadable. The generated dedicated links require the corresponding download client (such as Thunder) to be installed on your computer to work. The conversion process does not upload or store your link content, but please avoid converting links that involve personal privacy or sensitive data.
From a technical perspective, this conversion essentially applies Base64 encoding to the original URL and prepends a specific protocol header (e.g., thunder://AA...ZZ==). A typical example: inputting "http://cdn.example.com/video.mp4" outputs a Thunder link formatted like "thunder://QUFodHRwOi8vY2RuLmV4YW1wbGUuY29tL3ZpZGVvLm1wNFpa". This conversion allows the downloader to bypass the browser and directly take over the download task, sometimes resulting in better connection management and multi-threaded acceleration. For a higher success rate, we recommend prioritizing direct links from reliable CDNs or large file hosting services.
