Can anyone recommend a download manager for AOS 5 that can accept as input a list of URLs? This is what I’ve tried:

GigaGet (must hand-type each URL manually)
Download Navi (must hand-type each URL manually)
Aria2App (strangely, it apparently needs a server and cannot simply fetch files directly)

If Termux is an option then wget can do this. wget -i <file> reads a list of URLs from <file>. wget -i - reads a list of URLs from standard in.

Note that Termux comes with a wget command from busybox that doesn't have this option, so you'd need the full GNU Wget which can be installed by pkg install wget
