iDownloader
iDownloader is a file download manager for Mac that accelerates downloads by breaking files into multiple segments and downloading them simultaneously. Developed by Abhishek Pandey, it features an elegant interface and is designed to handle various file types from web URLs. The app is available on the Mac App Store and appeals to users who frequently download large files and want faster, more reliable download management than what's built into web browsers. It's particularly useful for downloading software, media files, and other large content where download speed and resume capability matter.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on the available information, iDownloader appears to have limited recent development activity, and there's no clear indication of Apple Silicon support being added to recent versions. The Mac App Store listing shows compatibility with macOS 10.12 or later but doesn't specify Universal Binary support. Given the uncertainty around native Apple Silicon support and the app's apparently limited updates, consider switching to Downie 4, which is actively maintained, fully supports Apple Silicon, and provides robust download management with support for hundreds of sites including YouTube, Vimeo, and other popular platforms. Downie offers similar multi-segment downloading capabilities with more frequent updates and broader compatibility.
