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?

    It’s unmatched for some of the things it does and sites it supports, but I think it’s a nightmare for any distro or package maintainer. It wants to manage its own installation and updates, at the user level, pulling in who knows what code or binaries.

    I think that makes it mechanically hard to handle, verify, or trust.
