+ShortDescription: Fast, lightweight download manager with multi-connection downloads and browser capture.
+Description: |-
+  Apex is a download manager for Windows built on a native Rust engine. It splits each download across up to 32 parallel connections, and pauses and resumes survive restarts and network drops.
+  A browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox hands downloads to Apex and gives them back to the browser if Apex is not running. Also includes a queue with speed limits, scheduling, proxy support, a clipboard watcher and a video grabber.
+  Completed files get Mark-of-the-Web so SmartScreen and Defender scan them like browser downloads. No accounts and no telemetry.
