Download Navi hasn't been updated in 3 years. Will it be a security risk if I keep using it? Are there any good alternatives if it is a risk?

    I’ve always wondered what’s the use of a download manager, especially on a smartphone. What’s your use case?

      Firefox’s default in-built download manager is hot garbage. It is so much more reliable to download multiple large files at once with a resource-friendly download manager.

      I’ve always found download managers to be faster than browsers in downloading
