PD Link connects your mobile device with the computer running PD (Progressive Downloader). Choose a computer once, then send download links whenever you need them: paste a URL in the app, share from Safari or another app, or use a Shortcuts action. PD Link hands the request to that computer, where PD creates and manages the actual download. You can also view active request status, follow download progress, remove requests you no longer need, and switch between available computers.
