Download Navi hasn't been updated in 3 years. Will it be a security risk if I keep using it? Are there any good alternatives if it is a risk? (lemmy.ml)

I've always wondered what's the use of a download manager, especially on a smartphone. What's your use case?

I've always found download managers to be faster than browsers in downloading
