Downloaders

ArchiveBox

Saves the web pages you care about as HTML, PDF, screenshots and more, so they survive link rot.

aria2

Lightweight download utility for HTTP, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink, with multi-connection downloads and a JSON-RPC API.

Every time I see a slow download, I try aria2c -x8 [link]. Most of the time it speeds the download up a lot.

CLI only

Internet Download Manager

Speeds up downloads by splitting them into parallel parts, with resume, scheduling and video grabbing from the browser.

JDownloader

Download manager that grabs files from hundreds of hosting and video sites, with link grabbing, captcha help and auto-extraction.

pipensx

Homebrew downloader for the Nintendo Switch.

qBittorrent

Ad-free BitTorrent client with a built-in search engine, RSS auto-downloading and a web UI for remote control.

Seal

Download videos and audio files from video platforms.

I hate when I want to share a meme or an interesting video from a platform that requires a login, and my friends can’t see it. This app solves that.

TorBox

Cloud downloader: fetches torrents, Usenet and file-host links on its servers so you download or stream them at full speed.

Debrid services are amazing. That’s all.
