Bengal Download Manager similar to IDM.
After switching from Windows to Linux I looked everywhere IDM alternative for linux. But found none. We need this for people like us who has unstable connection.
Some good download manager like Jdownloader and Ab downloader exist. But I feel like they are too much sluggish for low end system.
So, For last few months with the help of 3.5 flash-lite and now 3.6 flash(High) I created a clone of IDM like Download manager for linux.
Since it's built using QT and python it runs on my old 10 year old laptop just fine. Tried to use all modern tools.
It's backend is aria2 which is backed into the app. Binary, Flatpak and Appimage build supported. Also have x86 and arm builds.
An extension which can catch download from browser.
I hope you like it.
