Pan Xunlei

Pan Xunlei (迅雷网盘) is the cloud storage service integrated into Xunlei, a download platform developed by Shenzhen Xunlei Networking Technologies Co., Ltd. Xunlei was founded in 2002 in Silicon Valley by Zou Shenglong and Cheng Hao, and launched publicly in 2003 as a download accelerator. The company was incorporated in Shenzhen in early 2003 as Sandai Technology, and renamed Shenzhen Xunlei Networking Technologies Co., Ltd. in May 2005. Xunlei's download client supports Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and HarmonyOS.

The cloud drive component (Pan Xunlei) launched in 2020, adding cloud storage and media management capabilities to the existing download platform. As of December 31, 2024, Xunlei had approximately 6.38 million paid members. In Q4 2024, total revenue reached 84.3 million USD, a 9.3 percent year-over-year increase, with average revenue per member at 36.6 CNY.

In September 2025, Xunlei released version 12.4.4 with free third-party cloud drive download functionality for all users, supporting direct connection to mainstream Chinese cloud drives and WebDAV protocol mounting. In February 2025, Xunlei launched a batch download service for AI large model and dataset files targeting AI developers.

Pan Xunlei requires a Chinese phone number to register, and accessing the service requires a Chinese IP address for stable connections. Purchasing a membership plan also requires a Chinese payment method such as Alipay or WeChat Pay.

Cloud Drive

Pan Xunlei launched in 2020 as a cloud storage layer integrated into the Xunlei download platform, available across Windows, Android, iOS, Web, and WeChat mini program. The Mac version and a dedicated NAS client followed in 2021.

Cloud Drive Playback

Pan Xunlei includes a dedicated cloud streaming channel for instant media playback directly from stored files. The player supports 1080p HD quality and variable speed playback. Users can access their media library from any device without downloading files locally first.

Intelligent Media Library

The smart media library automatically generates a movie poster wall from downloaded and stored video content. Users can browse their collection visually and switch to private cinema mode with one tap. This combines the platform's download history with organized cloud storage presentation.

Third-Party Cloud Drive Integration (2025)

Version 12.4.4, released September 8, 2025, added third-party cloud drive download functionality available free to all users. The feature supports direct connection to mainstream Chinese cloud drive services and WebDAV protocol mounting, allowing Xunlei to serve as a unified download client across multiple cloud storage platforms rather than only its own storage.

Remote Download and AI Dataset Downloads

Remote download lets users add download tasks to their devices from any location without being present at the machine. In February 2025, Xunlei announced a dedicated batch download service for AI large model and dataset files, addressing slow download speeds that had been a pain point for AI developers accessing large training datasets. Download acceleration was also extended to AI platform users.

Cross-Device Synchronization and Private Space

Pan Xunlei supports data synchronization between computers and mobile devices for seamless access across platforms. A private space feature enables one-click hiding of download tasks and history, keeping sensitive downloads separate from the main library.

Membership and Business

Xunlei launched its membership system in 2009. A premium edition tier was introduced in 2012, and the paid user base grew to 5.2 million by 2013. As of December 31, 2024, Xunlei had approximately 6.38 million paid members, exceeding the 6 million milestone reported as a historic high in February 2023.

Xunlei's revenue comes from three main sources: cloud acceleration services, advertising, and user subscriptions. In Q4 2024, total revenue was 84.3 million USD, a 9.3 percent increase year over year from 77.1 million USD in Q4 2023. Average revenue per member in the same quarter was 36.6 CNY.

Membership provides benefits including cloud acceleration, expanded storage, higher download speeds, and access to the media library and cloud playback features. Current membership tier details and pricing are available at xunlei.com.
