Functions [ edit ]
A download manager manages files being downloaded from the internet.[1] [2] [3] Firefox 's and Telegram 's built-in download managers.[4] [5]
Criticism [ edit ]
Download managers are occasionally used to spread malware or advertisements onto a user's computer. For example, the download page for Free Download Manager was hacked and used to spread malware on Linux devices from 2020 to 2022.[6] [7] antivirus software , or attempt to install unwanted software during installation.[8] [9]
