Hi guys (and girls). While testing one thing and another, I discovered a method that bypasses the download limit on Pixeldrain. This worked for me on Windows 11 using the native `curl` tool (I think it comes pre-installed on Windows). Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Suppose I want to download a video from a directory like this:
2. In this case, there are several videos, so you need to click on one. Then, when it starts playing, right-click on the video, copy the link, and paste it into a text file. For example, for “jessica wannabe,” it would look like this: )
3. Copy the last string: `nMpBJCPc`
4. Paste it in the following place (in two lines: first `api/file/` and then in `$env:USERPROFILE\directorywhereyouwanttosavethefile\nameofthefile.mp4) The final cli command would look like this:

curl -L " " `
-o "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\nMpBJCPc.mp4"

5. Open PowerShell as administrator, copy and paste the resulting command:

curl -L " " `
-o "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\nMpBJCPc.mp4"

This command will download the Pixeldrain file to the specified directory (you can change the `.mp4` format to whatever you need).

6. If you want to download multiple files consecutively, you need to clear your browser cookies to force the closure of established Pixeldrain sessions. Otherwise, the download speed will be limited by pixeldrain, since the method they use to temporarily throttle download speed (at least that’s how I understand it, I can be wrong) depends on the number of established sessions against their server.

7. Enjoy the content you want without risking unknown websites and/or third-party software.

Edit: It's important not to visit pixeldrain website during this process or it will limit downloads speed even through curl

I hope you appreciate this. I’m super high and I fried a lot of neurons trying to explain it as clearly as possible :HideThePain:

I’ll answer any questions when I’m sober.

Tested this, and I seem to still getting tracked with how much I downloaded from the site, any reason to why this is?

Probably because you opened website to copy video url. It happenned to me. I've tested downloading with links without visiting (not once) pixeldrain website and I downloaded 12 GB. It's hard because here pixeldrain links are hidden and you can't check on " nMpBJCPc " strings.
If you are In a hurry now and want to download asap I recommend disconnecting and connecting Internet modem so your public IP change and you have 6gb free again.

Here is a similar one, copy and pasted the article in case you can't view it as the page won't be accessible if you use some privacy tools, it is similar in the method.



Step 1: Inspecting PixelDrain Download Logic

Go to a typical PixelDrain link:



Using DevTools (Network tab), notice:
  • First request loads the file page
  • JavaScript triggers a GET request to /api/file/AbCdEfGh/info
  • Then another to /api/file/AbCdEfGh to download the binary
  • Headers include a Referer, and missing this breaks the request
  • The Content-Disposition header is used to name the file

Key protections in place:
  • No raw direct file download link in HTML
  • Rate-limited API endpoints (especially /info)
  • Requires valid Referer and sometimes User-Agent

Step 2: Reverse Engineering the Bypass
Using cURL:
curl -L -O \
-H "Referer: " \
-H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0" \
" "

This directly downloads the file as long as headers are spoofed.

Tip: The -L follows redirects, and -O preserves the filename from the Content-Disposition header.


Step 3: Python Script for Automation
import requests

file_id = "AbCdEfGh"
url = f" {file_id}"
headers = {
"Referer": f" {file_id}",
"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0"
}

r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, stream=True)

if r.status_code == 200:
filename = r.headers.get("Content-Disposition", f"{file_id}.bin").split("filename=")[-1].strip('"')
with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
for chunk in r.iter_content(8192):
f.write(chunk)
print(f"[+] Downloaded: {filename}")
else:
print(f"[-] Failed with status code {r.status_code}")

This bypasses the front-end and grabs the raw file using Python.


Testing Rate Limits & Workarounds

PixelDrain uses basic per-IP rate limits.

✅ Use a Proxy or VPN:

Add this to your Python requests:

proxies = {
"http": " : port",
"https": " : port"
}
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, proxies=proxies)


Batch Downloader (Bonus)

If you have multiple PixelDrain links in a .txt file:

#!/bin/bash
while read url; do
id=$(basename $url)
curl -L -O \
-H "Referer: " \
-H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0" \
" "
done < links.txt

thanks for the reply, will test this tomorrow
