1) C++ API dynamically loading libraries
2) Python dynamically loading libraries
3) shell/exec scripts (wget, curl, aria2)
API could support different plugins coverage (from simple request, up to detailed download information):
1) Simple download API (ftp/http)
1.1) Basic retrieval API
1.2) Progress API
1.3) Multi-threading/per thread information API
2) Torrent engines
3) Video hosting
Simple download API can support only two arguments / interfaces: url/hash info, download completed.
Extended download API can support download progress information, even more complex API can support information per thread / download including downloading information like ranges, peer info.
Adding API can increase durability of the project by extending it via external plugins. For example I would like to have option to replace build-in youtube download functionality with youtube-dl python script or yt-dl. If for some reason build-in engine fails.
Linux is missing good reliable download manager with good UI. I hope to see more details on download items, download thread information, download block map, error/info loging per download thread, protocol details (ftp, http version, torrent details, video quality, http range) etc. Like most modern windows download manger do.
