LinkSwift at a glance

Checked 18 Oct 2026

LinkSwift is an AGPL-3.0 userscript (v1.1.3, Chinese-language) forked from the 网盘直链下载助手 script. On nine Chinese cloud drives, including Baidu Netdisk, Aliyun Drive, Quark, UC, Xunlei and 123pan, it fetches direct file links and passes them to IDM, Aria2, BitComet or AB Download Manager, and restyles the drive pages. People use it to download outside the official clients, where free users get throttled speeds; the README says it only uses public APIs and does not claim to break speed limits. Install with Tampermonkey or ScriptCat. Free tool; replaces no paid product.
