Annie

Annie saves videos from supported online services to a Windows computer through a fast, simple command-line downloader. Users can provide a direct resource URL or queue several URLs for sequential downloading. A text file can supply URLs in bulk, making repeatable retrieval practical for individual users who archive online material or collect selected videos.

It can download complete playlists and restrict a playlist by its starting point, ending point, or item range. Bilibili playlist selections are supported, so users can target particular entries instead of taking an entire collection. Version 0.11.0 is published by Xinzhao Xu, written in Go, and offered as freeware in the Video & Media Players category.

Pressing Ctrl+C interrupts a transfer while preserving a temporary .download file in the output directory, allowing the operation to resume later. Failed downloads are retried automatically, with 100 attempts as the default. HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies can be configured through environment variables, and a referrer option is available when a site requires one.

Multi-threaded transfers support a configurable thread count that defaults to 10, although mgtv downloads may produce HTTP 403 errors with too many threads, so one thread is recommended for them. Annie can print network request details to help diagnose transfer behavior. FFmpeg must be installed separately to merge final files, but it does not perform or control the download itself.
