Easily Solve Baidu Cloud's Speed Limit Problem

Preface

After 360 Cloud Disk shut down, Baidu Netdisk seems set to become the only choice for cloud storage in China, but Baidu's "table manners" are ugly. No matter how much bandwidth you have, as long as you don't have a membership, download speed is always 100k/s. Slightly larger files require installing the client to download, which is extremely annoying. Today I'll introduce a very simple method to solve Baidu Cloud's speed limit problem. You'll need the Tampermonkey browser extension and a Baidu Cloud download script.

Introduction to Tampermonkey

Tampermonkey is a free browser extension and the most popular userscript manager. It works with Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera Next, and Firefox. Although some supported browsers have native userscript support, Tampermonkey will provide more convenience in managing your userscripts. It offers many features such as easy script installation, automatic update checks, a quick overview of script running status in tabs, a built-in editor, and more. Tampermonkey may also be able to run scripts that were originally incompatible.

How to Use

1、Install the browser extension Tampermonkey 2、Install the download script: https://greasyfork.org/zh-CN/scripts/37515 3、When downloading with Xunlei or IDM, you need to click "Show Direct Link", then copy the link into Xunlei or IDM to download. It works on both the netdisk management page and the file sharing page. 4、If you need to quickly invoke downloads, you can install the Firefox extension "xthunder" to call the download software.

Notes: 1、The IDM green edition requires you to click and run the file "!绿化卸载.bat" before it will automatically associate downloads. 2、If you're not sure how to operate this, you can try a Firefox browser that already has the script integrated: http://www.runningcheese.com/firefox-v8 (After downloading, you need to select "System Tools" from the "rocket" icon in the upper right corner, then select "Set IDM", and it will automatically invoke IDM for downloads.) 3、If the download speed is limited to around 100KB, it means your account has been blacklisted by Baidu Netdisk. You need to log out to restore normal downloads. 4、If the download speed is around 200-700KB, you can go to "Settings --> Connection" and set the maximum number of connections to 16 or 32. 5、On the file sharing page, selecting a folder directly will fail to download. You can also check any file so the folder and file download together, and then it will work.

Once installed, you'll know how to use it. After activating the plugin, opening a Baidu Cloud sharing page will show an extra button. As shown in the figure. You can choose to download directly, or show the link and then copy it into download tools like Xunlei or IDM.

PS: There's also a piece of software called Baidu Pan Downloader, based on Arai2. After testing it can also download, but it seems to modify the browser homepage, so I won't recommend it here. Interested readers can search and try it themselves.

I actually think it's understandable that Baidu Cloud, as a cloud storage provider, wants to make some money. But making things difficult for non-paying users at every turn is truly contemptible. Baidu Cloud could completely follow foreign cloud drives like OneDrive, GoogleDrive, and Dropbox: don't give too much free storage space, and require payment for more space, while treating free and paid users equally when it comes to download speed. Wouldn't that be much more conscientious? After all, most users don't need that much space. The 5T of space Baidu claims is actually meaningless. When speed is limited so severely, even more space doesn't mean much. And data security issues cannot be ignored either. Anyway, just don't store important data on cloud drives.
