I use uGet on my ubuntu 16.04

Installation :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:plushuang-tw/uget-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install uget

UGet

  • To integrate uGet to Firefox browser, install FlashGot addon.

    Once installed, in Firefox menu go to Tools > FlashGot > More Options

    Under Download Manager, choose uGet

    FlashGot

    Now, you can right-click the link and choose FlashGot Link option

    FlashGot Right Click

  • For download video:

    in Firefox menu go to Tools > FlashGot > More Options

    choose FlashGot Media

    Under Download Manager, choose uGet and tick Show toolbar button

    configure FlashGot Media with uGet

    go to play video in ex: youtube and in toolbar will be there is icon like this icon FlashGot Media

    right click the icon, choose Available formats to download. then OK.

    FlashGot Media

    uGet Media That's it

youtube-dl is my personal favorite for downloading YouTube videos. To download this simply type these commands into terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install youtube-dl

Then all you need to do is type youtube-dl youtube.link in a terminal and it downloads that YouTube video.

  • try using DownThemAll addon in mozilla Ubuntu, it's great and boosts your download acceleration like "IDM"

  • Installing DownThemAll
    in mozilla browser->Menu->Addons->DownThemAll

  • you have multiple options in DownThemAll
    -like downloading all the links in current tab using dTa Oneclick(current Tab),
    dTa Oneclick(All Tabs),Download Manager.

  • you can use all these extensions by going to customize option in menu and drag and drop all them to tool bar of your browser.
  • go to the page where your file exists , right click on that file and click on download with DownThemAll option.
