OMG! Ubuntu!<p>Varia Download Manager Adds yt-dlp Support</p><p>A new version of the Varia download manager was released at the weekend – an update described by its developers as probably the “biggest since the first release”. I’ve written about Varia before and, as I said then, I appreciate that the idea of using a dedicated download manager app on the desktop isn’t as obvious today as it was a decade ago. Most people have fast internet connections, meaning even large downloads complete in seconds, and the built-in download tools in web-browsers are sufficient. Plus, we all tend to use streaming media services these days thus negating the need :sys_more_orange:<br><a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/AppUpdates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppUpdates</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/DownloadManager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DownloadManager</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Varia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Varia</span></a> </p><p>:sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/01/varia-download-manager-adds-yt-dlp-support" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/01/varia-</span><span class="invisible">download-manager-adds-yt-dlp-support</span></a></p>
