A download manager is a program solely for downloading files from the Internet. Download managers are a must if you download a lot. Not only do they keep your PC organized, they keep you productive. There are many download managers and today I’ll be reviewing Internet Download Manager.




Internet Download Manager

I’ve personally been using IDM for quite a while now, mainly because its user-friendly, and unlike some other download managers/accelerators – which are bloatware really – it has some really useful features.

Keeps Your PC Organized

In Internet Download Manager, or IDM, you can make categories and select which types of files will automatically be assigned that category. For each category, you can also choose the default folder where such files will be stored.

So, you can make a new category called “Images”, assign .png, .jpg, and .gif files to it, choose the “My Pictures” folder as the default folder, and IDM will download any image automatically to the “My Pictures” folder. You can do the same with any other file format.

As you can see, this keeps your PC organized and you don’t have to go on a PC clean-up mission every now and then.

Download Files Faster & Be Productive

IDM is also a download accelerator. Meaning that it splits the file into 4 or more parts and downloads them all the parts together, thus increasing your download speed. According to its website, it can speed-up download by up to 500%! Of course that’s only true if you have high-speed Internet – over 1 mbps. Otherwise, the download acceleration won’t be much.

Resume Files

Like most good download managers, IDM allows you to resume files. The great thing is IDM saves the file’s parts every few minutes, so you’ll be able to resume a file even if your PC crashed while it was downloading.

Scheduler & Queues

This is one of best features of IDM. IDM allows you to group files in queues so it’ll automatically download all the files in the queue, one after another, after you start the queue. You can also setup the scheduler so a queue will start at a certain time, say 1 AM. And you can even set it up to shut down your PC after the queue has been completed.

Speed Limiter

In Internet Download Manager, you can limit the speed at which files are downloading. This way your normal browsing won’t slow down to a crawl while you’re downloading stuff.

Browser Integration & Video/Audio Downloading

When you install IDM, it attaches itself to your browser. This enables you to download files using IDM in one click only, you don’t have to copy-paste the URL in IDM. So, whenever you click a download link, say a .zip file, IDM will start automatically and then ask you if you want to download it.

Another great thing about this download manager is that it can easily download videos and any audio on the web page. Whenever a web page has a video, IDM adds a “Download this video” button to the top-right of the video. This makes it very easy to download videos off YouTube in one click.



The Site Grabber

Site Grabber is a noteworthy feature of IDM. Site Grabber enables you to rip files from a website. You can download all the image files on the site, or videos, or the whole website itself. Although you won’t use it very often, it can be useful once in a while.

The Bottom-line

Sure, it might cost $29.95 but its well worth it. I’ve tested a lot of download managers – FlashGet, Download Accelerator Plus (DAP), GetRight, Free Download Manager (FDM), you name it. IDM trumps them all. With active developers and a boatload of features, you can’t go wrong with this one.

i think it was the best downloader.. so come and try it.
