What is a Xunlei link?
Xunlei links (starting with thunder://) are an encrypted protocol exclusive to Xunlei download software. They are actually generated by adding AA and ZZ identifiers before and after the original download address (such as HTTP, HTTPS, FTP), then encoding with Base64. The purpose is to protect download resources, but it also limits users to only being able to download using Xunlei software.
