The DFS Downloader is a small file download application which allows DF Studio account holders and Download Messenger recipients to download multiple original files. This native desktop application, available for macOS (10.8+), Windows (7+), and Linux, was designed to simplify and streamline the download process.

Once installed, clicking the Download link in DF Studio will automatically launch the application and prompt for a download location. DF Studio Messenger URLs may also be pasted directly into the application. The app provides download progress information, such as the current download rate and a running total of the data downloaded. No additional software must be installed (e.g. Java is not required) and the application is signed with a secure certificate.

If DFS Downloader is Incompatible

DFS Downloader is not required to download individual files. See Download Individual Files.

For users running operating systems older than Mac OS X 10.8, a link to the older Java Web Start version is still available. To download multiple files from DF Studio, see Download Multiple Files Without DFS Downloader.
