A list of download managers or tools for mass downloading. Discuss, recommend, complain, ask for help, etc below.
Post what you use and what works on what sites so the list can stay up to date.

Why use one?
While your browser probably has one built in, a dedicated download manager has more features that will benefit you as a data hoarder. This includes faster downloads by using multiple connections, bypassing sketchy download sites and wait times, allow for resuming and scheduling of hundreds of links, and more.

Still not working ?

So it's the plugin defect. Happens with some folders.

Quick fix :

Here are the direct download links.
1. Delete your current links from JD
2. copy this list to your linkgrabber

Please, Log in or Register to view spoilers
3.Make sure JD is set to Max 1 chunk + Max 2 or 3 same host (post above)
4.Start your download


Complete how to :

What you need :
1.
Please, Log in or Register to see links and images
(when you install add a new action and select "Copied to clipboard")
2. Text editor like MS Word

Steps :
1. Disable Clipboard observer on JD (Clipboard icon on the main toolbar - same bar as start/stop buttons)
2. Using Linkclump copy all individual inks from the folder
3. Past links in Word
4. In Word : use "find and replace" (Edit -> Find - >Replace) with the parameters FIND : "cdn" REPLACE WITH "media-files" (without quotation marks)
5. Click replace all
6. Copy results
7. Go back to JD and enable Clipboard observer --> JD should now crawl the new list.
6. Put all your links in one folder
7. Right Click on your folder --> Properties --> Max. Chunks per Download --> Set to 1
8. Click on the Speedmeter (speed graph when downloads are on - Top up right) --> Max. sim. Downloads per Hoster --> Set to 2 or 3 (sometimes 3 doesn't work- better go with 2 )
9. Start your downloads

Edit : Adding full steps including Max settings

I will curate/be honest for people on Windows that comes here:

Windows
Please, Log in or Register to see links and images
- get it free here
Please, Log in or Register to see links and images
- Free, and shit. Only useful in rare situations like downloading from mega using proxies. Avoid if you don't plan to download from MEGA.
Please, Log in or Register to see links and images
- Avoid, doesn't work well and its inconvenient. Get IDM instead.

Please, Log in or Register to see links and images
- Open source, GET IT. It works for videos too, check in which webs it works.
Please, Log in or Register to see links and images
- This recommendation doesn't make sense. Avoid MEGA but if you need to download, use the normal web version, as there is no way to bypass it without switching IPs (VPN or PROXIES with Jdownloader)
CyberDropDownloader - It doesn't work well, you need to setup python enviroments because it switches python versions too often and change requirements that will break your other scripts if you don't make python profiles with conda. Avoid.

Android
NEVER USE YOUR PHONE FOR PORN, PIRACY OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN STRICTLY NECESSARY. IT GIVES OUT YOUR EXACT LOCATION, PHONE NUMBER -> BILLING -> REAL NAME AND HOME.

Chrome
DON'T USE CHROME. USE FIREFOX OR FIREFOX BASED IF YOU CARE ABOUT PRIVACY.

Firefox
Please, Log in or Register to see links and images
- A good extension to download all images in a website.

I've got JDownloader2 for general use and CyberDropDownloader primarily for the common hosts used here. JDownloader2 is a fairly comprehensive scraper + download manager and has a pretty good library of supported sites (the settings currently list 3776 site plugins) and it usually does a pretty good job with unsupported sites too. The downside is it's java. :hahaa:

I've also been trying out FDM lately and while it's not bad it doesn't do anything that's not already covered by the other two, and it does a lot less than JDownloader2. Its torrent support might be useful if you almost never use them anyway I guess but I don't count that as a useful feature myself.


(P.S.: OP, you can put JDownloader2 under linux and mac too.)

Ok ok i see.

bunkrr.su tricky. Bunker doesn't handle chunks or multiple simultaneous downloads well

Summary : Max 1 chunk + Max 2 or 3 same host

How to ?

Choice 1 :
You have to do it each time you add bunkr links to the linkgrabber
1. Right Click on your package --> Properties --> Max. Chunks per Download --> Set to 1
2. Click on the Speedmeter --> Max. sim. Downloads per Hoster --> Set to 2 or 3 (sometimes 3 doesn't work)
3. Start your downloads

Choice 2 :
I don't like this one because it forces all downloads from other hosts to 1 chunk
1. Click on the Speedmeter --> Max. Chunks per Download --> Set to 1
2. Click on the Speedmeter --> Max. sim. Downloads per Hoster --> Set to 2 or 3 (sometimes 3 doesn't work)
3. Start your downloads

Hope it helps

I use IDM for just about anything. My version is not paid. I have never paid for it and always get a hold of a cracked version. It will pretty much download video from any site.

If it doesn't work let me know.

There's another issue when sometimes the plugins doesn't work well. I'm too lazy to explain how to fix it now :PeepoBlanket:

I'm glad to hear others have had good luck with Jdownloader. I set it up in a docker container, afraid to install it in my main Win machine as it just seemed sketchy and a little buggy. I'll give it a try again. For now I got a good price on StreamFab on one of their sale days and it works.

How do you guys download from cuiogeo.com? I signed up for a subscription and would like to download the videos for off-line viewing but the page has multiple videos inline and the downloaders that I've tried so far have been unable to recognize the video tags to capture the content.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can do this?

Answer: It turns out that the site uses HLS to stream its content.

Bunkr has updated and changed stuff multiple times after the JDownloader plugin for it was updated. The plugin devs are very slow with updates unless it's for a huge popular site so it will most likely take months before they feel like updating it again.

Edit: Actually it looks like they don't even have a separate dedicated plugin for it, I thought they did. Well anyway if you have problems with it, it's unrealistic to expect it to start working any time soon. It looks like it kind of works but not always.
