Offline full-text search and archiving tool for Chromium-based browsers that saves and indexes every page you visit.
DownloadNet (dn) is an offline web archiving tool that saves every webpage you visit in Chromium-based browsers and makes them fully searchable locally. It solves the problem of losing access to online content by creating a personal, private archive that remains accessible even without an internet connection.
Researchers, students, professionals, and anyone who needs reliable offline access to previously visited web content with search capabilities.
Developers choose dn for its seamless browser integration, local full-text search functionality, and complete privacy—all without requiring complex setup or external dependencies.

Hooks directly into Chromium-based browsers as an intercepting proxy, automatically caching every visited page for an offline experience that mimics being online.
Enables searching through the entire archived content locally, eliminating manual file digging, as emphasized in the README for efficient retrieval.
Stores all data locally on the user's machine, ensuring browsing history remains private and secure without external dependencies.
Offers Save Mode for real-time archiving and Serve Mode for offline browsing, providing versatility for different use cases.
The README explicitly cautions that as the archive grows, users may encounter performance issues, requiring manual tuning of Node.js memory settings.
Implicitly targets only Chromium-based browsers, excluding users of other browsers without clear documentation on broader compatibility.
While pre-built binaries exist, installation via npm or building from source requires Node.js and command-line familiarity, which can deter non-technical users.
