Internet Download Manager is filled with a number of useful features that make this one of (if not the best) download utility software on the planet. My personal is the ability to resume downloads.

That means you can add Internet Download Manager to your browser add ons so that the program only works when you download a file. If you want, you can even schedule downloads for times that are convenient for you. A great example is having Internet Download Manager select a file you wish to download, and get it while you're asleep, and be available when you get up. It's that simple.
