# Veloda browser integration

## What Veloda takes

Smart

Take large downloads and the file types a download manager is for — archives, installers, disk images, video and audio. Everything else stays in the browser, where a small file finishes faster than the hand-off takes.

Everything

Take every download, regardless of size or type. This is how IDM behaves. Expect to add exceptions below.

Only when I ask

Never take a download on its own. Right-click → Download with Veloda and the media list in the popup still work.

## Size threshold

In Smart mode, a download at or above this size is taken whatever its type.

MB

## Media detection

Detect video and audio streams

Watches for HLS and DASH manifests as a page plays them and lists them in the popup. This is what makes an adaptive stream — the kind with no download link at all — reachable.

## Sites Veloda never touches

One hostname per line. Subdomains are covered (`example.com` also skips `files.example.com`). Webmail and cloud drives are here by default because taking those downloads breaks the page's own handling of them.
