In plain English

LinkSwift is a userscript written in JavaScript that helps people get direct download links from eight Chinese cloud storage services: Baidu Netdisk, Aliyun Drive, China Mobile Cloud Drive, Tianyi Cloud, Xunlei Cloud Drive, Quark Netdisk, UC Netdisk, and 123 Cloud. A userscript is a small program that runs inside a browser through an extension such as Tampermonkey. Once installed, it adds buttons and options to the cloud storage web pages you already visit, so you can grab a download URL and hand it to your own download tool. The project is a modified fork of an earlier script called the Cloud Drive Direct Link Download Assistant, originally written by an author known as 油小猴. The README lists the source, the original repository, and notes that this version adds more features along with UI tweaks and support for several download clients such as Aria2 and IDM. The author is firm about what the script does and does not do. According to the README, all download links come from the public APIs that the cloud storage providers themselves expose. The project does not promise to bypass speed limits, and the author asks readers not to describe it that way. If a download happens to be fast, the README attributes that to network conditions or provider behavior rather than any cracking by the script. Installation links are given for several mirrors, including GitHub, Gitee, OpenUserJS, and ScriptCat, with both a stable release and a less stable canary build. The README also includes a long version history with dated entries describing fixes, adapter updates for changes on each cloud provider, and small UI improvements over time.
