Open source alternative to Internet Download Manager
Open source alternative to Internet Download Manager
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:
- 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!
You're viewing a single thread.
I did a lot of research, but I couldn't find any up-to-date, open source software that works with the browser. How sad it is that open source alternatives have not been created for some applications for all these years. JDownloader seems nice, but there is no official Firefox add-on.
What would you need an addon for? If you enable the clipboard monitor, jdownloader automatically adds all downloads it finds from any link you copy.
Edit: If you don't like the clipboard monitoring you can also use the Open With addon to explicitly add links.
