Internet Download Manager (IDM)

Internet Download Manager is a download utility program from Tonec that helps you improve the download speed of your files. According to the developer, its dynamic file segmentation technology can accelerate downloads by up to 8 times. Nowadays, almost everything is consumed digitally, and large files such as videos, games or installers can take a long time to download over a single connection. Internet Download Manager splits each file into several parts and downloads them in parallel, reusing connections to cut the waiting time. The program is useful for those who download large files regularly and want them sorted into categories such as Music, Video, Programs, Documents and Compressed. It is shareware: a free 30-day trial is available, after which a licence must be purchased.

Features:

• Download files up to 8 times faster
• Resume and schedule downloads
• Download error recovery
• Video grabber and site grabber
• Supports all popular browsers
• Supports Windows 7, 8/8.1, 10 & 11

Complete downloads up to eight times faster than standard downloads and resume them after interruptions.

Internet Download Manager is filled with a number of useful features that make it one of the best-known download utilities for Windows. A popular one is the ability to resume downloads. If you download large files, nothing annoys you more than needing to dedicate a large portion of time to a download while trying to do other things. With Internet Download Manager, you can stop downloading at any time and pick up where you left off. The software even has an error recovery system that allows you to resume a download you would have lost due to a power outage or loss of internet service.

The program installs in minutes and integrates with all major internet browsers like Firefox, Chrome, and Internet explorer, as well as Microsoft Edge, Opera and Safari. That means Internet Download Manager catches download links in your browser automatically, so the program only steps in 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 queue a file you wish to download, get it while you're asleep, and have it available when you get up. It's that simple. Advanced users can also benefit from Internet Download Manager because it supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and MMS protocols and many types of proxy servers. It can also handle firewalls, redirects, cookies and authorization, including Basic, NTLM and Kerberos. The program suits anyone who regularly downloads music, movies, games or large installers. After the 30-day trial, a paid licence is required to keep using it.
