What it is

Proxyee Down is an open-source HTTP high-speed downloader built on Netty that acts as a local HTTP proxy to enable multi-connection chunked downloads. It supports custom HTTP request headers, browser integration via proxy, and extensible plugins to handle special download scenarios (e.g., site-specific authentication or DRM stripping). Two-tier monorepo: front/ is a Vue 2 SPA (iView UI, Vuex store, i18n in src/) that communicates via WebSocket; main/ is a Spring Boot + Netty backend (pom.xml at main/pom.xml, core Java code at main/src/main/java/org/pdown) that implements the HTTP proxy and download engine. Frontend built to static assets, bundled into JAR.

Start here

• front/src/views/Tasks.vue: Main UI for task management and download display; core user interaction surface
• front/src/common/http.js: Axios HTTP client and WebSocket manager; handles all frontend-to-backend…
• main/pom.xml: Spring Boot / Netty / Java dependency declarations and production build profile; critical for backend setup
• front/src/store.js: Vuex store for task state, settings, UI state; single source of truth for frontend
• front/src/components/Task/Create.vue: Task creation dialog with URL input, headers, proxy…

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/proxyee-down-org/proxyee-down.git
cd proxyee-down/front
npm install
npm run build
cd ../main
mvn clean package -Pprd
java -jar target/proxyee-down-main.jar

Daily commands:

Dev (frontend only): cd front && npm run serve (http://localhost:8080, proxies API to Java backend). Prod: compile both, run java -jar proxyee-down-main.jar (embedded frontend assets, listens on localhost:8888 by de…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 2y ago
• Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 93% of recent commits
• JavaFX requirement: if using OpenJDK, must explicitly install openjfx (Oracle JDK includes it). Port conflicts: proxy listens on localhost:8888 by default; conflicts block startup silently. **Extension/plugin…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
