Despite it being one of the most popular and feature rich download managers out there and it being foss, it seems that most repos don’t have it ( except for flahub iirc) Is there is any reason behind that?

Not sure really; it may be because either jdownloader has a self updating function (i dont think its this one because it could be patched out like most repos patch telemetry out of audacity) or because it has very frequent updates to keep the site scrapers and downloaders working since it’s a continous arms race between them and the websites ( i’m not sure if repos have nightly builds of programs or not).
i thought of that too but youtube-dl and yt-dlp still exists in most repos
maybe i mean the program is written in fucking java, i don’t know of any other mainstream program that uses java outside of minecraft.
Well, I think all Jetbrains software is written in Java…?
well i meant software that even non developers uses
Java is pretty common, moreso in enterprise but still, it’s not like it’s some unknown language lmfao
Most android apps?
And if you’re distro isn’t one that pushes out fast updates, then neither will work consistently.
