Interesting but might have been good to see some of the more interesting code snippets. I too have found that products like JDownloader2 are over complicated, trying to be too many things to everyone, trying to make everyone happy often results in no one being happy. I often use "Free Download Manager" which has an almost insanely simple interface but the simplicity is what makes it work so well.

As someone who codes Go and often pokes about on archive.org for public domain radio plays, I was looking for some interesting Go code as a starter to build my own simple downloader just for personal fun, so I'd certainly be interested to see a proper solution with all the bells and whistles.
