Is Download Station (client for Synology NAS) safe?
Download Station sends NAS login passwords over HTTP when users keep its default http://diskstation:5000 settings.
The default connection points to http://diskstation:5000 and auto-login builds a request to /webapi/auth.cgi containing the account name and password. Because the default protocol is HTTP, those credentials are sent without HTTPS when the user has not changed the bundled connection settings.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
