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.

Seems okay for an open source download manager however when playing videos it does not pop up a download with ab like idm has when you start playing a video so in order to download the video you need to find the source url & add it. Also this does not work on windows 7 this is most likely a 10 & up only can only hope they add the compatibility for people who prefer to use 7 as their windows os.

A promising FOSS alternative to Internet Download Manager (in both UI and simplicity) that actually works. Minus video detection on browser (August 2024).

I've already tried recently few weeks ago replacing Free Download Manager on Linux Mint 22 "Wilma" look promising, but on Linux is labeled "Experimental Stage" and missing features like small icon on System tray / notification area compared to Free Download Manager.
