Very good overall, but it is impossible to download multiple files at once, except in batch mode or by playlist.
The limitation of lists to 10 in batch mode is understandable, but this limitation could be less strict.
It seems that changing the download folder is not taken into account (unless the application has to be restarted).

Very good set of options and simple to use.
Thanks to the author.

It works. I've only found one other utility that works like this one, downloads from most everywhere. The GUI is very plain but who cares? If there's some kind of settings error and a download fails, the software gives hints on what to do for a fix. A rare beast. Nice!

Does what it says, and does it amazingly well. All the other downloaders I've used had idiosyncratic behaviors or weird usage patterns. This one is just scan->grab. As it should be!
I disagree with the guy who said QT is bloatware. I verily enjoy seeing applications abstract away the OS nonsense inherent to coding on base APIs. Especially when the result is as smooth and painless as this one. The only time I've ever had ANY problem with QT was many years ago when it was still in beta. Not a single problem since. Keep on keepin' on; this is an amazing project.
