Hello everyone! I want to ask some recommendation of open source alternative to IDM with these feature:

  • Automically capture link from browser (especially Firefox)
  • Compact layout like IDM, no excessive theme
  • Still maintained
  • No silly “freemium” like FileCentipede

I already research some options, but I asking directly to community might surface interesting underrated programs.

Thank you!

    You’re probably better off using dedicated websites for each site you need to download videos from.

    They are usually ridden with ads, but it’s not a problem if you use uBlock Origin or similar addons

      That’s what I’m doing right now, but not every video platform has its own dedicated web downloader.

        Maybe a yt-dlp gui? Parabolic works great and can also use aria2 for speeding up the download
