It’s a golden opportunity to port FDM to the Linux ecosystem, many people converting to Linux from Windows miss it, and it doesn’t function 100% on Wine as many users reported. And despite it being a popular demand through the years, the feature is not even among the top 3. One of those features is the long-awaited support for Linux. The FDM developers posted a ‘features you want to see’ vote on Google forms asking the users to vote for features they would like to see next. Bittorrent support based on libtorrent.Integrates well with most browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, etc.Import a list of URLs from the clipboard.Resume broken links if the server allows it.Schedule downloads and perform a set of actions once done.Can choose three modes of traffic: Light, medium and heavy.Splits a large file into parts and downloads simultaneously.Supports download from HTTP and FTP sites.If you are wondering what makes FDM so special, let me tell that FDM has over 30 different awards for being a clean freeware, and it’s available in many languages (27 to be exact), and many consider it to be a drop-dead alternative for IDM (Internet Download Manager)-a commercial download manager -if not better. The first version was released in 2004 as a proprietary software but it has been released as an open source software under the GPL license since 2010.ĭespite being open source, FDM is only available for Windows and macOS, and not for Linux. Isn’t it a shame that the list of best download managers for Linux doesn’t include Free Download Manager?įree Download Manager (popularly known as FDM) is a download accelerator and a bit torrent client. But your vote can help bring it to Linux. Brief: Free Download Manager is a popular open source application but unfortunately it is not available for Linux yet.
