FluxDown is an open-source, cross-platform download manager built with a Rust engine and Flutter UI, aiming to be a free alternative to IDM. Its unique combination of multi-protocol support (HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, eD2K, HLS/DASH) with dynamic segmentation and a native browser extension makes it interesting for power users seeking a privacy-respecting, feature-rich download tool.
