Hello

I would like to know about your thoughts on a good Cross-Platform Open Source free DL Managers.

Here’s is what I’m looking for:

Free Open Source Safe
Cross Platform (Linux/Win 10/Android)
Browser extensions (Firefox, Chrome)
Must be able to dl video/audio from Youtube (I’d rather extract audio mp3 from video and dl this mp3 only)

I have tried FDM (Free Download Manager (on Win10) does not do what I want.
Also tried uGet does not do what I want and looks awful on Win10.

I have not tried XDM (Xtreme Dl Manager).

Thanks

In the past I used to use a Firefox extension download manager and the Zorin Team received a number of complaints. All the complaints had one thing in common, they had all used Download Managers. This is why Zorin state on one of their pages not to use a Download Manager
