Today we present to you an application dedicated to the download manager. If we remember correctly, we have never addressed the topic, so this is the first application dedicated to this type of alternatives! Motrix it seemed one of the most interesting to suggest.

What does download manager mean? It's a type of applications, maybe a little niche, which can help you organize your downloads and things to download well. It is useful in different contexts and especially for those who have to download many materials from different places. One of the most interesting features of Motrix it is the possibility of exploiting different protocols including BitTorrent.

Motrix, the download manager

Operation is also very simple and the graphics are modern and intuitive. Once the program has been installed you will find the download presentation screen in front of you. From here you can press the button + present on the left to insert the list of all the downloads you need to carry out. Simply add a URL per line and then decide whether the downloaded file should be renamed or whether it should be kept in the original. Furthermore, in the advanced options it is also possible to modify the user-agent, the referer, i Cookies or the possible proxy with which these files must be downloaded. When you are ready, just press on SEND and all downloads will start.

On the home screen you will find three tabs: one dedicated to downloads in progress, the other to those that are paused while the third is for completed downloads. When a download fails you will see it in this last tab with a numbered error. The explanation of the various errors are listed here.

Finally, in the general settings you will find other options that you can activate or not. For example, you can change its aesthetics by putting a dark mode on it or you can hide it from the applications menu. You can have Motrix open at login, give a default location for all downloads and limit upload and download bandwidth.

In the advanced settings you can automatically check for updates, use a proxy and choose which ones Trackers server (a list necessary to download torrents), change the listening ports and much more.
