Bypass download limits?
For sites with limited download speeds I usually use aria2 (via terminal) since it supports segmented/multi connection downloading. But I guess this wouldn't work with 1fichier, since with these sites you usually don't get direct link to the file and/or sites like these limit the number of parallel connections. I also used it for torrents for a while, but I wouldn't recommend doing this anymore.

(i know its a bit of topc but r/torrents is now private so...) How can I convert direct links into torrents?
Try a download utility like aria2c it's on GitHub. It's a command line utility but it makes using direct downloads less painful by caching downloads and starting where you leave it off. https://github.com/aria2/aria2 Download it from the releases page

Help compiling a package with a compiler flag from an official Debian source
The other option is to just download the static version https://github.com/jarun/nnn/releases/download/v4.9/nnn-nerd-static-4.9.x86_64.tar.gz and overwrite the Debian executable at /usr/bin/nnn, but this seems a bit hacky, agreed?

Can't figure out how to change icon theme in nnn
The icon-theme seems to be driven by your terminal font as detailed in `src/icons-in-terminal.h & icons.h, and the choice of "terminal-icon vs nerd-fonts vs emoji" appear to be hard-wired at compile-time rather than at run-time.
