pyLoad

What it is

Free, open-source download manager written in Python, managed entirely through a web interface. Lightweight enough to run on a home server, NAS or router, with plugins to automate repetitive downloads.

Why I recommend it

Worth it only if you already run a home server and download large files regularly. Same rule as any download tool: what you download is your responsibility, and file hosts are a common route for malware.
