I’ve been pirating my whole life in mobile and rarely in pc. What are some the best download managers to use in windows?
Jdownloader2 is a god send when dealing with crappy file hosters.
Came here to post this, but you beat me to it. Jdownloader is incredible and also works wonders for downloading massive collections from archive.org
IDM only does direct downloads, or taking over downloads after waiting the timers or clicking the download button.
You can just give the download URL to JDownloader2, either direct or on a file host, and it will do the job. It supports many file hosts, which may be dealt differently from one to the other, such as needing timeouts, donwloading from folders, handling passwords (it would ask you for it), solving CAPTCHAs (it would also ask you for it), and so much more. Everything would be dealt and you get the file just from the URL you gave it. It’s a versatile tool.
If you mean general download managers, then IDM hands down. It’s so good that I bought it just to support the devs. Then there’s JDownloader 2 however it’s quite heavy for everyday use. It is a must if you use debrid services though.
If you mean direct download: JDownloader2
For torrents: QBittorrent
For usenet: SABnzbd
Free Download Manager is okay for me for the occasional torrent i grab, otherwise its great for just downloading in general. (window only i think)
however most of my activity is in usenet/nzb and ive settled on nzbget for this work. I ran sabnzbd for a long time (and concurrently), but it seems that nzbget works for everything no probs.
Ive been out of the torrent game for a long while, and dont know the current status of projects like qtorrent.
Do you mean torrent clients? If so qBittorrent or BiglyBT are very good
