Should we consider XDM as dead ? #1218

Question

After nearly a year without updates and no signs of activity from the developer, should we consider XDM as dead ?

For users close to @subhra74, did something happen to him in his personal life or did he just lose interest ?

In both cases, it's too bad because it was the only FOSS download manager that could compete with IDM and FDM. There's Motrix too which looks like it isn't actively maintained anymore as well.

Yes I've seen it, that's why I said "After nearly a year without updates and no signs of activity from the developer". Very unfortunate that he didn't leave any announcements or put the project in "maintenance mode".

Indeed he has been inactive in GitHub all together. Also he he has put a 😷 emoji beside his GitHub profile picture. I think something has happen to him.

He created a repo a few days ago, good news. Let's hope for some clarification on XDM's future soon.
