When choosing the best free download manager for you, you'll want to start with considering how simple the download process is. Does it happen swiftly in a few steps, or is it an elaborate process that demands file decompressing and extraction?
Media previews and download scheduling are convenient features, but not all download managers offer this. Look out for privacy protection features and check whether the software comes with pesky adware.
The best free download managers provide the ability to organize, prioritize, and streamline your downloads. They provide stability over using a web browser to download files, especially several at once.
Its interface is simple and modern (if a little dark), and its accelerator can help you get your files 10 times faster. It does this by splitting each file into chunks, then downloading each one using a different server connection, making downloads not only faster, but also more reliable. If you're into music and movies you'll be delighted by its sequential setting, which lets you begin playing a file while it's still downloading.
It can crawl sites to download specific kinds of files, and you can choose to download only the bits of a ZIP file you actually want. For us, it's an exceptional program, and a true contender for the top spot.
It's really one for power users, with support for over 300 decryption plugins, automatic RAR extraction, password list searching and OCR to complete some of the captcha 'I'm not a robot' checks you encounter on download sites.
There are other things, besides the interface, that make JDownloader feel dated. You'll need the Java Runtime Environment to run it, and to be careful when installing it not to install the bundled adware. Beware, also fake 'download' buttons on the site; the actual download link is a line of text, not a button graphic.
We tested various free download managers to determine their performance. We looked at the ease of finding and download the manager, the download speeds, interface, learning curve, and privacy features.

What you cannot do, is have a download fail and resume automatically or be interrupted and resume when the connection is stable; Download Manager (S3) does not seem to do this since I tried it and I had to manually resume every single one of my downloads.
The Download Manager you use and the Best one to use depends on your OS . In Linux - the best I have found is UGet download manager.Combined with Curl and Aria2 it has not failed to do any download I chose to enter into it.For windows - the Best depends on How you will use it. Trial and Error will get you the results you need to determine which YOU choose as being the best.
Good news! I have been able to resolve the issue in v0.8.5 (new version is on Dev and Master)! Please update and it should work now (make sure to hard refresh the page), also check the Readme on the Github page for more info. Tomorrow I will continue working and resolve more things, let me know if anything is not working!
Thanks for the feedback! It could be due to the multi threading downloading, can you try to go to Settings -> Advanced -> And change download segments to 1? Then restart a download and maybe that improves the speed. I'm now fixing some things and I'm going to add a download log so hopefully that will show some more info about the slow downloads problem.
Thanks for trying, I know what the problem is with deleting a tv-show or season so I will hopefully have a fix for that soon. With the slow download I will have to investigate a bit more. I will PM you with some more questions!
If you're okay with doing it, you could temporarily remove MFA and see if that resolves it. Or you could make a second Plex account without MFA, get share access on that account and use that to download through PlexRipper.
This was/is the idea that made me create PlexRipper in the first place and I'm happy someone else sees that as a cool thing as well! However, a lot needs to still happen to get to this goal, things like searching, separate API for Radarr/Sonarr etc but it is definitely on the Wishlist!
My vision is, you as the user searches something in Radarr/Sonarr, PlexRipper searches through all available servers and returns the result, and based on settings in Radarr/Sonarr, downloads it to a folder and moves it to its destination. All of this works without opening PlexRipper once etc. This would make creating your own media collection so much simpler, no more searching through torrents/Usenet and Plex servers always have the best quality content compared to torrents/usenet as people only keep the good quality media. Also no DMCA requests that remove old or popular content from the public, Plex server owners can back-up their collection to their friends without setting up complex pipelines etc.
In my testing PlexRipper went undetected by for example Tautelli or Plex itself. What setup and configuration is your friend using? PlexRipper is connecting however in the background to retrieve metadata and indexing all the media the server has to add to its own database.
What is the best memory buffer size to allocate to download a file from Internet? Some of the samples said that it should be 1K. Well, I need to know in general why is it? And also what's the difference if we download a small .PNG or a large .AVI?
For what it's worth, I tested reading a 1484 KB text file using progressive powers of two (sizes of 2,4,8,16...). I printed out to the console window the number of milliseconds required to read each one. Much past 8192 it didn't seem like much of a difference. Here are the results on my Windows 7 64 bit machine.
Use at least 4KB. It's the normal page size for Windows (i.e. the granularity at which Windows itself manages memory), which means that the .Net memory allocator doesn't need to break down a 4KB page into 1KB allocations.
Third, array data structure in C# occupies some bytes more than the content itself (it stores array size and other informations). If you allocate page size amount of bytes, using the array will switch page almost always!
In some cases you can find out (or know, or hack around in a debugger and hence find out albeit in a non-change-resistant way) the size of a buffer used by the stream(s) you are writing to or reading from. In this case it will give a slight advantage if you match that size, or failing that, for one buffer to be a whole multiple of the other.
