This package has gotten very popular. Unfortunately, I don't have that much time to maintain it anymore. I made it for my personal need of automatically handling downloads in my apps using the electronDl() API. Later on, someone submitted electronDl.download() to be able to handle individual downloads, and this is the API that many now depend on, but I don't use it myself.

The first task would be to upgrade the electron and spectron dev dependencies and fix the tests.

Next would be to help get #65 merged.

I could also need help triaging issues.

I created my own package which I believe addresses a lot of concerns around using a "save as" dialog, supports multiple downloads, along with supplying a reference back to the download for tracking purposes:

(I did look at the electron-dl code to see if those issues could be addressed, but didn't feel comfortable with the emitter architecture it uses to want to fix it and in the end decided to just start from a clean slate.)
