Where Does Xtreme Download Manager Store Queues?
Where XDM keeps queued downloads, credentials and settings on desktop, and which folder varies.
Last updated
XDM is Java and open source, so one data folder holds the queue, credentials, browser monitor state and options. Finished files land in a download directory you choose. The wrinkle is naming: builds have used XDM, xdman and xdm variants.
Check Tools settings for the live paths on your machine. The settings page wins over any guide. Copy data with downloads stopped; the queue file dislikes live copies and restores stalled entries.
Where Xtreme Download Manager stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\XDM
Queue, credentials and options in one data folder; name varies by build so check Tools settings. Stop downloads before copying. Downloads default under home until changed.
~/Library/Application Support/XDM
Same data pattern under Application Support with either folder name. Confirm in Tools settings. Browser monitor state copies with the folder.
~/.xdm
Same pattern under home or XDG config with either folder name. Distro and tarball builds share the layout. Check settings before scripting backups.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up XDM queues and settings?
Stop all downloads and copy the XDM data folder plus the download directory. Queue and logins need data, files need downloads. Exact folder names differ by build, so confirm in Tools settings first.
Why do guides show different XDM folder names?
Look for both XDM and xdman names under the same parent and use whichever exists. Java builds and installer builds named the folder differently between releases. Contents match either way.
