Which has better activity and maintenance signals?

Based on the RepoPilot analysis data:

lingochamp/filedownloader has severely stale maintenance signals:

• Verdict: WAIT — Stale — last commit 2 years ago
• OpenSSF Scorecard: 2.8/10 with critical weaknesses in:
  • Maintained: 0/10
  • Dependency-Update-Tool: 0/10
  • Security-Policy: 0/10

niedev/rtranslator does not have explicit maintenance signal data in the analysis block, so its recency and maintenance status are unknown from the provided signals.

However, the README for lingochamp/filedownloader explicitly acknowledges its stale state: it notes that FileDownloader2 (OkDownload) has been released as a successor, and states that "all farther features and enhances will be achieved on the okdownload instead of FileDownloader, and FileDownloader will only focuses on bug fixes." This is a formal deprecation-in-practice notice.

Conclusion: lingochamp/filedownloader is actively being phased out in favor of OkDownload. Without comparable maintenance signals for niedev/rtranslator, I cannot definitively rank them, but lingochamp/filedownloader is clearly in minimal-maintenance mode. If you need an active, maintained download library, the README recommends looking at OkDownload instead.
