Hello,
Sounds like some problem with OpenSSL installation on your Mint. FDM6 does not contain OpenSSL libraries in its distributive for Linux. It relies on libraries provided by system. I am not a linux expert, by the way. Currently we do support Ubuntu only, and it works fine there (just tested again).

There is no way to have a working browser extension for a download manager on Android due to the platform limitations.

When I try to download multiples files on my seedbox, FDM starts the first file/download with the max thread per server, and doesn't even bother to load threads on the other files/download in the queue. Pretty much defeats the purpose of a Download manager.. My queue limit is set to 4 files/downloads at the time time.

Hello,
Just set maximum number of connections per server to 4*20 then. FDM will not use all 80 connections for a single download.

I tried, it just hammer the server with 15~20 threads on the same file and queue the other downloads. I had to add limit_conn_zone to nginx to enforce threads/files.

It seems that FDM has hard coded limit of maximum connections per server, or this is just a bug. I'll check it.

I don't think so. Other programs work without problems.

Neither am I. AFAIK, if FDM needs some specific libs (version or build), they should be listed in dependencies.

Mint is Ubuntu based distribution. What Ubuntu version and what desktop environment do you use for tests?

Really? If I remember correctly, FDM extension worked OK in Firefox 68 for Android. Otherwise I couldn't download any file on my tablet.

And what about other problems? What about Youtube? "Download from this site is not allowed" is NOT the message I'm waiting for.

Well, my homework is done. Linux Mint 18.x comes with OpenSSL 1.0.2x. I downloaded, compiled, installed and configured version 1.1.1 using instructions from that site: https://cloudwafer.com/blog/installing- ... -04-18-04/
FDM seems to work OK now, so it's time to make some suggestions:
1. Corporate users have LTS (Long Term Service) distributions installed, which means that in most cases they don't use the latest versions of system libs. Such users either cannot install newer system libs or don't know how to do it. Software devs should be aware of that fact and provide programs working properly with at least two latest versions of system libs - in this case OpenSSL 1.0.x and 1.1.x. You can provide either a universal package for all supported openssl versions or separate packages for different openssl versions.
2. You should check the installed OpenSSL version and warn if it is too old and unsupported by the program. It's a must as currently more than 80% sites uses https.

Could you provide more details, please? What operation system do you use? Do you have any active downloads?

Hello,
There is a bug in FDM that it does not apply settings until restart. Just restart it. The bug will be fixed in the next update. Thanks for report.

Usher wrote:And what about other problems?

Hello,
Which ones? Built-in browser? We'll think about replacing it with something better.

Why can't you understand that this is just not allowed by Google? You want us to be removed from Google Play store?

OK, thanks. We'll add the check once we have the time for this

I don't think that it's possible for FDM to crash your computer. FDM can crash itself, but not your computer (this is highly unlikely). Can you provide some details about what exactly is crashing and how, including the typical steps which leads to this. Maybe it's a buggy antivirus which crashes your computer?

I can't reproduce it. Can you please do the following steps so we can fix the bug?
1. Reproduce it (i.e. FDM should become unresponsive).
2. Open Windows Task Manager, Details tab. Find fdm.exe process in it, right click on it and choose "Create dump file".
3. Archive created file, upload it to some file hosting service (e.g. anonfiles.com) and send me the link via the private message on this forum.
