What Bolt does.

Up to 32 connections per file.

Bolt splits a file into pieces and downloads them at the same time. Pick Normal, Fast, Ultra or Max, or let it choose by file size.

Add the browser extension

For Chrome, Edge and Brave (version 116 or newer). It isn’t in the Chrome Web Store yet, so you add it yourself.

  1. Install Bolt, then unzip the extension folder that comes with the release.
  2. Open edge://extensions or chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode.
  3. Click Load unpacked and pick Bolt’s extension folder. Bolt’s window shows when it connects.

Windows may warn the first time because Bolt is new and not yet code-signed. Choose More info → Run anyway. It is open source, and the release was scanned with Microsoft Defender. View the source
