Perfect Alternative for JDownloader Manager on Mac

I've been using JDownloader for OS X for a while, it always ends up eating GBs of RAM if I leave it running. Is there any JDownloader for Mac alternative worth recommending?

As we all know, JDownloader for Mac is Java-based and it doesn't blend in perfectly with Mac OS. What's worse, you have to download numerous add-ons/plug-ins to make it works well. Plus that the latest Google Chrome has blocked Java by default. We can easily come to the conclusion that the Java-based JDownloader does not feel as snappy as you would expect a Mac app to be.
