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
  • Video download indicator on browser, I mainly download videos from YT, NicoNicoDouga, Bilibili, Facebook Videos, Instagram, etc. Similar to: Video download indicator on browser
  • Properly detect non Latin character file name

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

Thank you!

Has a bit of a learning curve, but JDownloader 2 is all I have used for many, many years. I can't speak to IDM or how it looks in comparison.

It looks like crap but it’s sooooo good! That’s what I use too
