I can never seem to get a download manger to work. I remember I used to be able to do that on windows, but SteamOS is giving me a headache, I'm a noob in linux.

But then again, idk if pausing would even be possible with these 🏴‍☠️ sites.

In addition to the other answers: if you want a download manager, you should be able to install JDownloader 2 from the Discover app store in desktop mode. That one is fine. Just don't download it from the website, it comes with all sorts of adware crap. Get it from Discover.

There's also a link on the official website without all the crapware but it's very well hidden... I found JDownloader really bad and the UX/UI not very user friendly and looks shady...

Too bad there isn't any IDM alternative for linux, and that's also why I stopped DDL and wen't back to torrenting on private trackers... There isn't any simple download manager that looks sleek, feels good and doesn't put your system at risk !
