Sorry for the question, but what even is the purpose of a standalone download manager?
Firefox and browsers in base can often fail at big download files. With this manager, I can seamlessly download big files without to use a torrent if it a product doesn't support torrent download
I see. Never had issues with big downloads myself, but I don't do many of those.

Faster download speeds via multithreading, management of downloaded files, extra features like video stream capturing et al.
I see. I don't personally see much use in it, but I can see how it can be nice.
Once you start downloading large videos off video websites, or large ISOs or ZIP/RAR/7Z files, you will quickly realise the worth. A lot of people who like to archive things, or store files or media locally, keep such a tool installed.
Good that another one came. I have been personally using Xtreme Download Manager across Linux and earlier Windows for better part of the decade, and it works extremely well.
Buggy, bulky, heavy, crashy, no portable version, slow development, bugs are usually neither fixed nor investigated, suggested features are not implemented, its issues page looks like a forgotten sepulchre, the developers (too many devs doing too little work) usually no longer comment on new issues and the project might already be abandoned for good. Conclusion, Persepolis Download Manager is hopeless (I once tested it on Windows and gave up on reporting problems as my reports were ignored).
It is not buggy. It runs as expected.
