Gopeed
Gopeed is a cross-platform download manager for macOS that handles HTTP, HTTPS, BitTorrent, magnet, and ed2k downloads in one app.
What is Gopeed?
Gopeed is a native download manager for macOS that helps users download files from direct links and peer-to-peer sources in one place. It is designed for people who want a single app for everyday file downloads, large transfers, and torrent-style workflows without relying on a browser alone. Gopeed supports HTTP, HTTPS, BitTorrent, magnet links, and ed2k, so it can manage several common download methods from one interface. The app also offers browser integration, proxy support, and an extension system that can add new download capabilities for supported websites and services. For more advanced use, Gopeed includes an API and web interface for remote or automated download management. Gopeed is published by Gopeed and is available on macOS as part of a broader cross-platform download toolset.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Gopeed is legitimate download software, but it can handle files and links from many sources, including peer-to-peer networks and browser-captured downloads. That makes the main practical risk the content you choose to download rather than the app’s basic function. Network access, local file storage, and browser integration are normal for this kind of tool. Use it with trusted download sources, and review any browser extension or community extension you enable before relying on it.
Recommendation: Keep Gopeed if you use it for file downloads, torrent or magnet links, or browser-assisted download capture. If you no longer use it, you can remove it like other Mac apps, but doing so may also remove its saved tasks, settings, and integration with your browser workflow.
