    I use JDownloader 2 as my download assistant software. What are others using to manage their downloads? Do some download clients produce faster download speeds? Just curious what others are using and if some better than others.

    JDownloader 2 is the most widely used download program in the world; it is reliable,
    fast, and regularly updated. You don't need any other download program!

    used FreeRapidDownloader before, but JDownloader2 is most versatile, and can be run in Docker with remote VNC interface which is convenient compared to full desktop apps

    If you don't want to juggle a dozen tools, there's really only one answer -> JDownloader.

    That being said, I use megatools to download from mega.nz and sometimes aria2 (possibly abandoned by now) for large downloads / archive.org.
