Review Summary
Thunder Download Manager offers a simple and clean interface that many users find better than Chrome's default downloader and a good alternative to Chrono. It is open-source and improves download speeds. However, multiple users report frequent crashes, high resource consumption, and missing features like dark mode, progress indicators, retry options, and history import. Overall, it is functional but needs improvements in stability and feature set to meet user expectations.
