Comments and Reviews
A new alternative to free and open source download managers like XDM, Motrix or ImFile. Not as mature as them yet but goes in the right direction and has a clean an modern looking interface already. They also have an active Telegram group to discuss issues and features.
Garbage. Every single download task from every single website ended with downloading .html or .php file instead of requested file.

I was looking for an alternative to JDownloader2, but AB Download Manager completely failed at this task—it can't even perform the most basic operations, such as downloading videos from YouTube. Instead, it downloads an .html file...
AB Download Manager does not support downloading videos from YouTube due to legal reasons.
I like it. Easy to use. After 15 years of using IDM, I think I've finally found a good replacement. There are some UI bugs, like padding and margins, but that is nothing.
AB Download Manager is perfectly well designed compared to almost all other download managers. Works perfectly on macos
It has a clean, user-friendly interface. It does not automatically detect video streams when playing videos in browsers, requiring users to manually find and add source URLs for video downloads. It currently does not offer a site grabber feature.
