Jdownloader2
(sh.itjust.works)
Yes but the caveat is you have to use the "clean" one. The publicly facing JD2 downloader comes with malware. There is a clean link that can be found on their forum. Once you have that though, the thing just updates itself a couple times a day, it's not an ongoing issue once you have the damn thing.
Then it has ads that you can disable, but they re-enable after so many days. It's just an annoyance though, like how we're in the year of our LORD 2026 and it still has no dark mode. There IS a hack to get it dark, but again, like the ads, it doesn't persist for long and it's generally not worth doing. I've done it a few times, and it's nice, but it goes away before you know it and then it's like "fuck it".
I think the thing you want to be careful with is, by default it scans your clipboard. Granted it does this for download links, but it catches all kinds of bizarre shit. So I just leave it off. When I want to download something I copied, I just find it on the dock, ⌘+L to open the link thing, ⌘+V to paste it, enter, then I'm good to go.
Speaking of the dock, it keeps moving itself to the end. I think what is happening is, after an update, it adds itself to the end of the dock if you've moved it to the middle or the left.
The dock is Mac specific, I'm not sure if it acts differently on a Windows taskbar or whatever you have on Linux (it's Linux, so it could be either). Of course, so are the command shortcuts, but if you're using Jd2, subscribed to c/piracy on Lemmy (especially if you're a db0 user... you can figure them out for your OS. ;)
