Migrating from flutter_downloader

Open nullxception opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Last week, flutter_downloader marked as discontinued on pub.dev due to lack of maintainer to continue it's development.

I noticed this recently when trying to solve #125.

Personally I'd never try to write downloader myself due to complexity of today's android file storage handling, so perhaps I'll find another package that are still actively maintained and if possible, has nicer API.

How about background_downloader?

How about background_downloader?

This seems to also use scoped storage better. Maybe this could allow selecting a custom folder via SAF without needing the external_storage permissions that file managers use. Sorry if this is off-topic.
