I use a download manager because when I'm directly downloading large files Firefox gets mad. I also like the feature of batch downloads. What do you guys use?

I've tried a bunch of different download managers, but none have done exactly what I want. Currently I am using aria2 with Persepolis, but the project doesn't seem like it is being updated. Is there any tool that:

Is open source
Can batch download files from a list of URLs
Intercept Firefox/browser download manager

Optionally

Batch download from premium file sharing hosts like rapidgator
Download youtube videos (I have only been able to accomplish this with website or aria2 with yt-dlp)

I'm looking at IDM (Internet Download Manager) but it is not open source and I would have to look at a crack or free trial abuser thingy. This is not a deal breaker but I would much prefer to run something open source.

JDownloader is partially closed-source.

Didn't know about that, what parts of it are closed source?

Various plugins, see https://board.jdownloader.org/showthread.php?p=517795

However, it is possible to use JDownloader without these.
