Is there anything better than "Free Download Manager" these days (kinda dislike their GUI since they changed it from the v3.9.7 one)
to get downloads from the browser automatically pushed into another tool that can do resumption and all (esp. when downloading multiple >20gb files/images).
On the CLI aria2 + yt-dlp kinda works, but I haven't seen a browser plugin that would automatically intercept and forward downloads (esp. the javascript triggered ones).

A reminder that I have a #Firefox (and #Waterfox) add-on for the #InternetArchive. It allows you to mass copy links from the download pages, or even automatically forward them to an #aria2 server to #download. Would love to hear from you if it is useful!

Do you download lots of files from the @internetarchive ? If so, you might find my #Firefox #extension handy. It can filter the links on collection pages and copy them to the clipboard, or even send them to an #aria2 download manager via #RPC. It pairs very nicely with #AriaNG running on a #NAS.
You can take a look at the #opensource #code and find the (self hosted) link to the installation file here: https://git.jordanwages.com/wagesj45/archive-org-link-grabber
