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!

    Mainly video from various sites via video detection, like YouTube, PeerTube, Bilibili, Instagram, Facebook Videos, NicoNicoDouga, etc.

    I tried various FOSS downloader in the past, and it often failed detect any video, or even doesn’t even have that feature.

      yt-dlp is pretty much the authoritative solution for this these days.
