I use uGet on my ubuntu 16.04

Installation :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:plushuang-tw/uget-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install uget 

• To integrate uGet to Firefox browser, install FlashGot addon.

  Once installed, in Firefox menu go to Tools > FlashGot > More Options

  Under Download Manager, choose uGet

  Now, you can right-click the link and choose FlashGot Link option

• For download video:

  in Firefox menu go to Tools > FlashGot > More Options

  choose FlashGot Media

  Under Download Manager, choose uGet and tick Show toolbar button

  go to play video in ex: youtube and in toolbar will be there is icon like this

  right click the icon, choose Available formats to download. then OK.

  That's it

youtube-dl is my personal favorite for downloading YouTube videos. To download this simply type these commands into terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install youtube-dl

Then all you need to do is type youtube-dl youtube.link in a terminal and it downloads that YouTube video.

• try using DownThemAll addon in mozilla Ubuntu, it's great and boosts your download acceleration like "IDM"
  

• Installing DownThemAll
  in mozilla browser->Menu->Addons->DownThemAll
  

• you have multiple options in DownThemAll
  -like downloading all the links in current tab using dTa Oneclick(current Tab),
  dTa Oneclick(All Tabs),Download Manager.
  

• you can use all these extensions by going to customize option in menu and drag and drop all them to tool bar of your browser.
• go to the page where your file exists , right click on that file and click on download with DownThemAll option.
