I use a download manager because when I'm directly downloading large files Firefox gets mad. I also like the feature of batch downloads. What do you guys use?
I've tried a bunch of different download managers, but none have done exactly what I want. Currently I am using aria2 with Persepolis, but the project doesn't seem like it is being updated. Is there any tool that:
- Is open source
- Can batch download files from a list of URLs
- Intercept Firefox/browser download manager
Optionally
- Batch download from premium file sharing hosts like rapidgator
- Download youtube videos (I have only been able to accomplish this with website or aria2 with yt-dlp)
I'm looking at IDM (Internet Download Manager) but it is not open source and I would have to look at a crack or free trial abuser thingy. This is not a deal breaker but I would much prefer to run something open source.
It can be pretty annoying to set up with the quirks and problems you can come across, but if you stick with it it's totally worth it
