I've been pirating my whole life in mobile and rarely in pc. What are some the best download managers to use in windows?

IDM only does direct downloads, or taking over downloads after waiting the timers or clicking the download button.

You can just give the download URL to JDownloader2, either direct or on a file host, and it will do the job. It supports many file hosts, which may be dealt differently from one to the other, such as needing timeouts, donwloading from folders, handling passwords (it would ask you for it), solving CAPTCHAs (it would also ask you for it), and so much more. Everything would be dealt and you get the file just from the URL you gave it. It's a versatile tool.

JDownloader2 doesn't support chunkloading though (without a premium subscription), whereas IDM does
