I will give it a shot if things don't go well with FDM

I guess it is a matter of personal preference and priorities

I tried it and unfortunately the browser integration is not good enough for me and for dl vs dlp well I don't know what's the difference between the 2 and I'm yet to use any of them

Yep yep but I'm willing to use a separate app or browser extension just for this purpose

text clarity on windows is so good, can I get the same on linux? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I love its UI, so damn good, so damn clean, so simple, I was really really hoping that it would be it, I wanted it to be it but it lacks proper browser integration, the experience is not seamless as it should

The perfect download manager for me would be IDM ease of use and and flawless browser integration + JDownloader2 FOSS nature and its advanceded features + Motrix simple and clean UI

IDM looks like Windows 98 era

Yep I agree but at least it looks like a desktop app not a phone app on a big screen, anyway it's okay I will keep using FDM while keeping an eye on XDM hopefully the new version will live up to the expectations

XDM?

Ok I just ~~googled~~ startpaged it and oh boy it is FOSS but the UI man it looks like a smartphone app from android 4.4 era but the devs are working on a full overhaul so I'll wait and see

There is also FileCxx.

I will look into it, seems interesting

There is nothing that will work as simple as IDM

I strongly agree but from my experience FDM seems the closest to it and FDM is not as simple as IDM, I wish if there is a native linux version.

especially with that little floating button on top of videos it detects, with all available frame resolutions.

Damn right man, it is so damn good, can't anyone else copy it please???

For video sites, I use yt-dlp. For galleries, gallery-dl.

I know of yt-dl but never heard of dlp before well until yesterday and for gallery-dl the name alone is very intriguing, I will definitely take a look at it, thanks for mentioning it!

For anime sites, I just log into Windows and use IDM.

They called me a mad man

I want something that will grap download requests automatically, I don't want to right click on any link, if I'm on particular website and I left click on the download button on that website the download manager that I have installed should automatically grap this download request
