I don’t really know what you mean by not copy-pasting links but you don’t gotta do that.
Here is what I mean, in testing JDownloader and other download managers I did a simple test, I open a website like let’s say freedownloadmanager.org/download-fdm-for-linux.ht… and I left click on the download button if the download manager auto captures the download request and start downloading the file or prompt me to authorize the download then the download manager passes the test but if the browser built in download manager starts downloading instead then it is an instant failure; I put this extension to the test and unfortunately it failed.
wine probably is your best bet if you just want IDM in Linux form.
It installed successfully but unfortunately it seems that it won’t work with the linux version of Firefox so I uninstalled.
I settled on it in the end but I installed the deb package instead from FDM website, the flatpak just refuses to install and I’m not willing to troubleshoot the issue
Hmm seems really interesting, will take a look at it when I have time
DownThemAll
Tested it unfortunately requires an extra step (right clicking on links), I’m looking for something that will auto start whenever I left click on a link instead of the browser built in download manager
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
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.
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
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
I tried different font settings in the font settings and it didn’t improve much (font hinting, anti aliasing, custom DPI settings, different font size)...
Thanks for the valuable information! I’m still not sure if I’m gonna get a laptop or build a desktop as an upgrade for the future but one thing is sure is that 1440p is the absolute minimum for me, no way in hell I’m getting anything lower than that
Idk but I forgot to mention that now the laptop actually wakes up from sleep after I switched to the OS drivers, those proprietary drivers are really bad, god I shouldn’t have switched to them at all.
TBH I’m just following distrochooser.de #1 recommendation, I want something that works best for me, not willing to spend any more time in testing new things that might be good, if it is good then I will let the community try them 1st, I will be the last to jump in
is there a download manager for Linux that just works? (libreddit.oxymagnesium.com)
Something as simple and as convenient to use as internet download manager...
text clarity on windows is so good, can I get the same on linux?
