First of all, I want to clarify that I have 0 relationship with the development of this project and I am simply a Linux user who always wanted something similar to IDM and I want to share my discovery with more people, with the hope that this program will become more famous. .
Now, File Centipede as its own Github description mentions is a Cross-platform internet upload/download manager for HTTP(S), FTP(S), SSH, magnet-link, BitTorrent, m3u8, ed2k, and online videos. WebDAV client, FTP client, SSH client.
For those who have used IDM, File Centipede serves exactly the same purpose and has the typical features of any download manager, including torrent file support, plus it’s open source and works extremely well in my experience.
File Centipede has a browser extension (Chromium/Firefox) that allows you to download almost any video from the Internet, in the style of IDM, a little icon appears on top of the video frame to click and download. And also, if you have this extension installed, File Centipede intercepts downloads from your browser, and personally I am very surprised that it can intercept downloads from sites like MegaDB or Vimm(dot)net, when programs like JDownloader, FDM, XDM could not. intercept or simply downloaded an .html.
Now, not all that shines is gold and I want to include something that you are going to run into if you try the program. File Centipede is a program that has been in development for a little less than a year, and has absolutely 0 ads, but when you go to their downloads, you will find that there are two versions, a “Premium Edition” and a “Free Edition”, the Premium Edition is the “Most Updated” version, it has more functions and capabilities, but after a while you will get a pop-up telling you that you need an “Activation Code”, and it is important to mention that the program does not stop working if you just ignore the pop-up, it works exactly the same but at times you will have that pop-up. If you wanted to buy the activation code, the developer allows you to pay a lifetime version for $28, or you can pay $0.02 for one day, that is, if you pay $1 you will have an activation code that will work for 50 days, and the developer makes it clear that all purchases are simply to motivate him to continue working on File Centipede and they will be refunded. And he warns that once the project reaches 100k stars on Github the Premium version will become free.
In case you don’t want or can’t pay the activation code, the dev releases a key each day (usable by everyone, if I use it you can too) on his official site every day that eliminates that pop-up.
Well, that being said, I hope someone finds File Centipede as useful as I do, personally I haven’t seen any performance hit in the browser if anyone is concerned.
What is that?im curious
Human centipede, it’s a movie that you shouldn’t watch under any circumstance. It changes you in ways you couldn’t possibly fathom.

Oddly I can see neither this reply, nor my original comment, but can reply from my inbox within Voyager.
It does?
Human Centipede is a shitty B movie where a mad scientist sews three people together, lips-to-buttholes, so that they have to crawl around and the latter two can only eat shit. It’s stupid, badly-made, and surprisingly boring.
