I'm 16 and I've been building Prism, a download manager like IDM. It's free, open source (MIT), and has no ads and no account.</p> <p>What it does:</p> <p>Splits downloads into up to 32 connections, so they're faster<br> Catches downloads from Chrome, Edge and Firefox<br> Grabs videos with yt-dlp<br> Handles torrents<br> Resumes downloads after a crash<br> Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux<br> Here's a short demo video: <a href="https://youtu.be/IkZu0XN2lLQ" rel="noopener noreferrer">youtu.be</a></p> <p>You can download it at <a href="https://prismdl.site/" rel="noopener noreferrer">prismdl.site</a></p> <p>It's still early, so any feedback or bug reports would really help. Thanks for checking it out!</p> opensource showdev software
