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.

Is there any mass downloader that is currently working for Onlyfans aside from "downloader for onlyfans" extension
 
My fellow pervs im in need of help with jdownloader2. I dont understand sometimes it works but most the time i get error file not found even tho linkgrabber says all the files are online, any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I've been using JD for years.
Can you give more details ? Which host ? Which links ?
Some hosts need some tweaking
 
My guy you are a God amongst men! Seriously you went above and beyond to help me I appreciate that! If you ever have a request etc poke me and Ill see what I can do :)
 
I'll also point out because I didn't here. Cyberdrop-DL can now interface with JDownloader for unsupported links.
 
Hello guys, is it possible to make JD2 download from cyberdrop without limits?
 
Do FDM and ADM setup their own subfolders so that DL aren't going to my Google photos?
 
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.
 
Anyone know of a automatic Twitch recorder?
Needs to be cli and work on Linux.
Similar to Recordurbate but for Twitch.
 
my dude, how about gofile? do i have to do the same with bunkr? it said plugin defect, kinda irritating because gofile is for sure fast...
 
yeah, I've seen them too.. but somehow its complicated for me to do it.. seems like i have to download another apps to be able to workaround it.. i afraid to mess up something too doing it..
 
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. https://www.hlsloader.com/ works perfectly.
 
Has anyone noticed an issue with FDM and gofile where instead of downloading the correct sized file it downloads a file with the same name/extension but a fraction of the size? For example, I tried downloading this file: https://gofile.io/d/k1WGD8 which is supposed to be 194.8MB but the actual file downloaded is only 16kb. I've had this happen with every file I've tried to download from gofile. I know there's currently an issue with JDownloader and gofile but does that issue extend to FDM? If so, could anyone recommend a good alternative downloader for gofile? Any advice would def be appreciated. Thanks!
