I am using it without any issue. This app replaces my Xtreme Download Manager. As for Torrent, I would still prefer qBittorrent. ---

Good concept. But does it integrate with browsers? Most people don’t just use a download manager without browser extensions of it. These are the tools that make the download manager actually useful. ---

One Thing I didn’t understand. How it can replace IDM if it doesn’t’ have browser extensions neither we can download videos from youtube and other unprotected streaming sites. ---

Thanks for sharing. Can this program be used to replace JDownloader? Since Turnstile chatcha comes into play, JDownloader hasn’t been able to resolve it, making it unable to download from many top hosts. I wonder if there are any programs that can replace it.
