Published·Modified·

Xiaoz Blog has previously introduced two similar Baidu Netdisk download tools: Sudisk and Pan Download. Here, we add another option: BND. BND stands for Baidu Netdisk Downloader, available in two versions: BND1 and BND2. BND1 supports Windows, Linux, and Mac, while BND2 is limited to Windows and Mac. This article focuses on BND2, as it features a more attractive interface.

BND2 Download Principle

  • Obtains files and download links via PCS API
  • Achieves high-speed multi-threaded downloads using Aria2

BND2 Download and Installation

BND2 is an open-source project. You can obtain the source code from GitHub: https://github.com/b3log/baidu-netdisk-downloaderx or download pre-compiled binary files for installation. Alternatively, you can download directly from the following links:

Simple Usage of BND2

Upon first use, you need to log in with your Baidu Netdisk account. After logging in, you can view all your Baidu Netdisk files. The interface is clean and minimalist.

Xiaoz tested downloading a 1.7GB file from Baidu Netdisk. The download speed stabilized at 1.3M/s, which did not fully utilize the local bandwidth but was significantly faster than downloading directly from Baidu Netdisk.

About Download Speed

Regarding the issue of unstable download speeds, here is a unified explanation. The main factors affecting download speed are:

  1. Whether your local network bandwidth is sufficient
  2. Whether the resource itself is a hot resource
  3. Whether your account is throttled (if throttled, the download speed drops to around 100K/s; in extreme cases, it may drop to around 10K/s)
  4. For frequent use, it is recommended to pair the tool with a Baidu Netdisk SVIP subscription.

Summary

BND, Sudisk, and Pan Download are all third-party Baidu Netdisk download tools suitable for temporary use by users who do not have a Baidu Netdisk VIP subscription. Long-term use of such tools may result in download restrictions (no speed) by Baidu. Please use them at your own discretion.
