  1. Windows users are usually stuck with the flexibility of IDM when we switch to linux. When I moved to Linux I have to find alternatives.

    • youtube-dl (Its available in the command line- $ man youtube-dl to see usage)

    • VideoDownloadHelper. --Firefox addon

    • 4kdownloader. I use this everyday. Download playlist and individual files, extract only the audio as well. Its paid app but the trick is, look for an older version and install. It works so well. I am using version 4.2.0
