For offline software I wouldn’t consider it a problem, but for something that connects to the internet I would want it to have the latest versions of its dependencies.
It looks like the dev has been updating their funding details recently, hopefully they have an update planned.

Looks like the author is still active and looking for funding: https://github.com/TachibanaGeneralLaboratories/download-navi
But development seems to have stopped indeed. There is a fork, with new developers, that is actively being worked on: https://github.com/Davilarek/download-navi
Not sure I would call that “active”. No activity in over a year. And even that was just changing a couple markdown files.
I’ve always wondered what’s the use of a download manager, especially on a smartphone. What’s your use case?
Firefox’s default in-built download manager is hot garbage. It is so much more reliable to download multiple large files at once with a resource-friendly download manager.
Yep same question
I’ve always found download managers to be faster than browsers in downloading
Ok, but what do you download on your smartphone?
Movies , audiobooks ,rarely apks and PDFs
Unfortunately alternative are closed source (ADM , IDM ) , I’ve heard that free download manager was open source but even if it’s still , I won’t recommend it because it was reported that it redirected Linux users to malicious links
