Hey there!

I find myself frequently downloading large files on my android phone from servers that aren't always the fastest. These downloads can range from audio and video files to zip and rar files.

I'm on the lookout for an app that will allow me to resume downloads that have failed, as well as choose where to save each file individually.

So far, I've only come across apps that have been discontinued.

Do you happen to know of any good, regularly updated apps that fit the bill?

Thanks so much for your help :)

Found this one earlier. I had security concerns as it hasn't been updated for a long time, but I'll check it out.

Thanks :)

This the one. A bit worried due to recent lack of updates.

Maybe, but I use it all the time and it's working fine.

I also use it regularly. There is no other decent alternative at this point.
