SRT Downloader is a command-line tool developed by Giovanni Palusa for automatically acquiring subtitles for video files stored on a local computer. Currently at version 0.1.5, with a history of two recorded releases, the software addresses the common task of finding and organizing subtitle files for personal media collections. The tool operates recursively, meaning it scans an entire folder tree rather than a single directory, locating video files wherever they may be nested within subfolders. Once video files are identified, SRT Downloader searches subtitle providers on behalf of the user, removing the need to manually look up and download subtitles one file at a time. When a matching subtitle is found, the file is saved next to the corresponding video, keeping media libraries tidy and ensuring that subtitles are located exactly where most media players expect to find them. This workflow makes the software particularly useful for users maintaining large collections of movies or television episodes spread across deep directory structures, as well as for anyone who prefers organizing media alongside matching subtitle files rather than managing them separately. Because it functions as a command-line utility, SRT Downloader fits naturally into scripted or automated workflows, and it suits users who are comfortable working in a terminal environment. Within a software catalog, it falls under the categories of media management, subtitle utilities, and command-line tools for video file organization. The batch-oriented, recursive design distinguishes it from manual subtitle searching, since a single invocation can process an entire collection at once. Users with only a handful of videos can benefit equally, since the tool still handles provider lookups and file placement automatically. With version 0.1.5 representing the latest entry in its two-version release history, SRT Downloader remains a focused utility centered on one practical goal: downloading subtitles for local video files recursively and storing them beside each video it processes.
