If you are chrome user you can use some extension that can download media file on any website. Most recommend is using IDM Module (may be it’s name changed). Here is the fix link.

I have to admit that I am not using any download manager in Ubuntu. Simply don’t need that I need one. Modern browsers took good care over downloads.
Thanks for the great list, I like the IDM, great to know I have a few free options available too in case I need an alternative or a backup. Eagle Get looks solid.
As someone that’s used eagleget and flashget for years, I have to say IDM is miles ahead. Flashget is great software but has a few limitations compared to idm. Eagleget is very amateur software.
Hey, i think you might also see my listings for few more better idm alternatives.
jdwonlaoder is the best !
Dude, you seriously need to work on your grammar. It’s hilarious. The same goes to most of the people who made comments.
Nice article though, Thumbs up for that.
Thank You for your great post. I need it as alternative to the IDM which not free. I also want to post it on my blog
I really wanted the alternative of IDM because it irritates me every time
Thanks to you,I get a alternate of it 🙂
We are really happy to see that you have found an alternative here. Thank you for your feedback Onam!
Wahh, better stuff you have shared & really thankful for it. IDM so far best download manager. No download manager may beat internet download manager in transfer speed.
I have not tried any of them but i wanna ask before using that which one of hem shows download buton while playing mp3 or video on net just like IDM.
Yes. Eagle get shows download button when playing online videos or MP3 just as like IDM. You can also select HD or SD for Videos.
thanks for the list, i cant able to use the crack version of IDM and i was searching the best alternative now i downloaded eagleget & jdownloader thanks for sharing the info…
Nice collection bro,But most of the downloads are related with brothersoft or softpedia,We need to install Brothersoft Softwawre to install Orbit Download,Can you update with direct links ?
I can’t help bro, The official site linked the download link with brothersoft.
Thanks for the list.. I am really happy to see this list
Thanks. I’ve been trying to crack IDM for weeks now after it refused to work. I tried eagle get today and it seems fine. it’s a bit slow though. I didn’t know there were soo many alternatives to IDM.
Thanks for commenting. But I can’t agree with you about EagleGet. It’s not slow. Download speed depends on your internet speed
I will try JDownloader, IDM is good till the trial period 🙁
I really wanted the alternative of IDM because it irritates me every time
Thanks to you,I get a alternate of it
Can Jdownloader provide download link like idm when streaming? If yes, would uninstall IDM ASAP
You may try Eagle Get download manager. It is the perfect match for what you need.
None of them bring up a download box on the video like IDM does
Eagle kept bringing up errors and restarting my laptop
NOW!!!…IDM can go to HELL with its annoying product key request…cos I won’t be needing them anymore…what was the IDM guy feeling like
Thanks mate, hope IDM guys will understand now :p
FDM (Free download manager) is also Good.
i think none of them work like idm because download icon of not any downloader appears on youtube video when i checking them honestly but later on i find a browser which allow me to download youtube videos it has a built in youtube videos and audio downloader and other wise i like eagle get because it is as i guess very fast
I don’t recommend Slim browser though.
IDM is really good but for batch downloading, I give it to WFDownloader App. It’s cross-platform.
You can use Allavsoft to get the best Alternative to Video Grabber for Mac and Windows to download any video or audio from 10000+ website.
Hi Fanghdbr
Thanks for informing us about the new software. Hope you liked our IDM alternative list.
That freaking software is always asking for keys, keys and keys. It’s so annoying. 🙁
BTW, you mentioned nord and ipavnish. What about using another VPN like I have PureVPN? Is it good for P2P?
Hi Henry J. Patric
Yes, IDM does that frequently , hence you can use these working IDM alternatives.
PUREVPN is an IDLE VPN for Torrenting
I recommend PureVPN for Full Anonymous torrent download as it has advanced encryption and many supported protocols. But one thing you have to be sure , use Bitcoin as payment method if you want to be fully anonymous.
You can buy BitCoin from CEX.IO
Thanks for sharing nice information. IDM is really good but for batch downloading.
It is quite necessary to have a VPN for Windows when you access internet through your computer. FastestVPN lets you surf the web freely while staying anonymous. Now access all the geo-restricted websites through our high-speed VPN servers!
Eagle get is really good alternative to idm, give it a try
