Hi guys,

Beside IDM, which free download manager (2020) would have the same casual usage as IDM? I know each software have its own extra features, but I am a really casual user, just need something like IDM, click the link and it automatically downloads via the manager.

I have done some search, and I found a few that get my attention, but I'm not sure which one would be the simplest to use.

-JDownloader
-Eagleget
-free download manager

I'm looking for something with no ads, ease on CPU, also well integrated with a browser such as Vivaldi. Also if it can download torrent would be a plus, so I can skip using utorrent.

Hope your experience and opinion could help me

p/s: IDM is great, the best and I know there is K'ed version, but let's skip that for now.

 

jdownloader is the best u can is use it with och prem accounts, it extract it automatically and can shutdown the pc after finishing automatically

 

JDownloader is a beast and free. A bit CPU and RAM hungry compared to IDM because it's written in Java.

Pros:
- It's the best. Period. Including Youtube downloading.

Cons:
- A bit difficult for beginners. You say casual use, so it might not be worth it for you
- No torrents
- No website downloading (html stuff)

 

Kd versions of software that are only useful if they are connected represent a big risk.

JDownloader is by far the best if you accept its limits pointed by Xupito

It's easy to use.

 

Alright, guys, thank you for the input.. it really helpful. I will give JDownloader a try first

thank you guys!!

 

Yes and then stick with it, you'll see.
