Its official documentation frames the project as a high-speed downloader built with Golang and Flutter, supporting HTTP, BitTorrent, magnet, and ED2K downloads. Gopeed grew from a desktop-style download manager into a broader download platform with a REST API and a JavaScript extension system. That extension model lets users add download integrations without changing the core downloader. ### Adoption history Distribution expanded beyond source installs into Homebrew, Nix, Scoop, Winget, Flatpak, Snap, DEB, AppImage, Docker, QNAP, and mobile packages. That packaging spread is the main evidence of adoption for a tool that is primarily consumed as an application rather than a Go library. Browser-extension integration also helped position Gopeed as a replacement for built-in browser download handling, while the web build and API support made it usable as a remote download service. ### How it is used Users install Gopeed as an app or as the `gopeed` command and use it to manage HTTP(S), BitTorrent, magnet, and ED2K downloads. The documented command install path uses the Go module path `github.com/GopeedLab/gopeed/cmd/gopeed`. The official docs emphasize platform installers for ordinary users and API or extension development for automation-heavy users. ### Why package nerds care For package maintainers, Gopeed is interesting because it packages a Flutter UI, a Go backend, browser integration, and many platform-specific release artifacts under one project name. It is a practical example of a Go command-line package that is also a full graphical application. Its Homebrew formula represents only one distribution lane; the project documentation treats package managers and direct release artifacts as parallel official install paths. ### Timeline - 2019: GopeedLab/gopeed repository created. - 2020s: Project documents Go plus Flutter architecture and multi-protocol downloads. - 2020s: Official install documentation lists package-manager, mobile, web, Docker, and NAS-oriented distribution channels. - 2020s: Extension and REST API documentation positions Gopeed as an extensible download platform. ### Related projects - Gopeed browser-extension integrates browsers with the Gopeed app. - Flutter supplies the cross-platform UI layer. - Go supplies the backend and command-line build path. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** gopeed - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - gopeed: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/go/gopeed/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Scoop - extras/gopeed: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/gopeed.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Extras/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - winget - monkeyWie.Gopeed: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: monkeyWie.Gopeed from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## Related links - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Security and crypto packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/security-crypto-tools/) - Matched security, identity, cryptography, password, signing, or certificate metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [go-passbolt-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go-passbolt-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, password-management, password-manager, secrets, security. - [gopass-jsonapi](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gopass-jsonapi/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, password-management, password-manager, secrets, security. - [lastpass-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/lastpass-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, password-management, password-manager, secrets, security. - [pass](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pass/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, password-management, password-manager, security, unix. - [clipsafe](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/clipsafe/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, password-management, password-manager, security. - [enpass-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/enpass-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, password-management, password-manager, security. - [gokey](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gokey/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, password-management, password-manager, security. - [kpcli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kpcli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, password-management, password-manager, security. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
