01 · Open

Open the webpage you want to browse in Hams

After opening Hams, click on the address bar and enter the URL, or go to the target page through an existing link. The web page must actually be opened in Hams before the app can attempt to discover the media content loaded by the page.

  1. Open Hams
  2. Click on the address bar
  3. Enter a URL or search for something
  4. Enter the target page

Address bar tip: Enter a URL to start discovering downloadable content

02 · Loading

Browse as normal and let the media load normally

Some web pages will not load the actual media until the content scrolls into view, or the user starts playing the video. Continue browsing the page and, if necessary, start playing the content you want to save.

  • Browse down the page
  • Open media details
  • Start playing video
  • Wait for page to load

When you just open a web page without letting the media actually load, Hams may temporarily be unable to find the downloadable item.

03 · Discover

After discovering the content, open the download panel

When Hams detects a potentially downloadable video or image on the current page, the download button in the browser becomes available. Click on the portal to view the currently downloadable items.

  1. Confirm that the page media has been loaded
  2. View the download entry in the browser toolbar
  3. Click to open the download panel
  4. Wait for the item list to be displayed

Discovering resources does not mean that every file in the list will meet your needs. It is still recommended to confirm through preview and resource information before downloading.

Confirm the content before downloading

The same web page may load videos, images, thumbnails, covers or versions of different resolutions at the same time. Determine the resource by thumbnail, format, size and other available information, then select what you really need to save.

  1. Preview resources
  2. Filter videos or images
  3. View format and size
  4. Select available quality
  5. Check the required content

When a web page actually offers multiple versions, Hams displays 4K, 2K, 1080P, or other available resolutions. Not all web pages offer multiple quality options. Ordinary users and VIPs can download up to 1080P, 2K and 4K require SVIP.

Start downloading and continue browsing

After confirming the content and quality, click Download to add the task to the Download Center. After the task starts, you can return to the web page to continue browsing, or you can open the Download Center to check the progress.

  • View progress
  • pause
  • continue
  • Try again
  • Open completed file

Videos may take up more data. You can allow mobile data downloads if needed, or try to perform tasks on Wi-Fi.

Hams does not support resuming interrupted downloads. If you continue after a pause or try again after a failure, you will download it again from 0 bytes, and the parts that have been transferred will not be retained. Failed tasks will be automatically retried, up to 2 times; they will need to be retried manually thereafter.

Hams Download Center interface

No content found yet

Hams can only attempt to process content when the page is actually loaded, accessible, and the video or image can be detected.

  1. Continue browsing or start playing

    Some media won't load until you scroll to the location or start playing.

  2. Wait for the page to finish loading

    When the network environment is slow, videos and images may take longer to appear.

  3. Confirm page access status

    Some content requires login, subscription, or region-specific permissions. Please first confirm that the page itself can be played normally.

  4. Refresh or reopen the page

    When the page loads abnormally, you can refresh the current page and try again.

  5. Check if the site is supported

    YouTube, Google, and official streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney+, iQiyi, and Tencent Video have been actively excluded by Hams. There will be no download buttons on these sites, and no matter how you check in the previous steps, there will be no results. In addition, DRM, encrypted playback, special loading methods, access control and regional restrictions may prevent resources from being discovered or downloaded.

Hams does not bypass website login and access controls, DRM-protected content is not supported, downloads will fail, and support for all websites, pages, and media formats is not guaranteed.

You can also click on the file three times in a row to quickly move it in; recovery also supports these two methods. The Private Vault is for VIPs; the Extreme Vault is another safe exclusive to SVIP. The two are independent and not connected to each other. Vaults are available only on Android.
