I tried the "optimal" settings, and it slowed the websites loading on Chrome and Edge. Websites were sometimes taking over twenty seconds to load. I restored the backed-up settings, which solved the slowdown.

Xtreme Download Manager is good for downloading large files, videos, and especially. In free, it is great

It's not signed on macOS, and I do not recommend installing it on macOS, but the Windows version seems good and fast, with a solid core. Neat download manager is written in C++ and has a good core on Windows and Mac. For now, I prefer Neat on Mac, Flux on Windows.This Chinese Download Manager is Magnificent.FluxDown — The Download Manager, Rebuilt in Rust

The fun part is that I had the same project going on, a Rust-based download manager. Most download managers use aria2 at their core; the download engine is not written by the devs, and the UI and some components are written in Rust. The core is based on aria2. After seeing flux, I dropped the project, although it was nearly functional and in pre-beta stage.
I had this under my radar for a long time, but it doesn't download videos well, and is slower than XDM.AB Download Manager
Thank you for this recommendation. I've been testing out Persepolis and Brisk for a few weeks now and am in the mood to try this one out.This Chinese Download Manager is Magnificent.FluxDown — The Download Manager, Rebuilt in Rust

AbDownloadManager is Free and open source. I stopped using IDM though I have a lifetime license for it.
there is also another version of motrix Motrix Next it use aria2 next.

I did some high-level testing on FluxDown, and it’s brilliant. It’s downloads are incredibly fast, features a top-tier UI/UX (based on Rust), and lets you add extensions like yt-dlp, FFmpeg, and GitHub directly from the interface.
There are just two minor quirks that need addressing: the browser extension should be installable directly from the app rather than the web stores (Firefox/Chrome/Edge), and some advanced settings are still in Chinese (which gives me EagleGet flashbacks).
FluxDown’s biggest strength is how it combines the best features of top download managers into one comprehensive tool. Multiple queues, multi-threading/segmentation, speed limiting, auto-categorization, video detection and conversion, torrent and eD2K support, auto-resume, third-party file manager integration, and even support for MCPs.
It would be hard to beat at a premium price, let alone for free. My top choice ATM.

Looks like an IDM clone, which is good. Lots of interesting features and available multi-platform, but no media detection I believe? Will be hard to beat FluxDown though, which is perfect in most ways.Hydra Download Manager (HDM) – Fast, Multi-Source Download Engine

Media detection in Flux is solid.
