Description:
Internet Download Manager is a powerful download manager that
promises to accelerate downloads by up to 500 percent.
In addition, the application can also restart interrupted downloads and
integrate into a large number of browsers, including Internet Explorer,
Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera.
Internet Download Manager’s interface is clean and well-organized, with
large, stylish buttons that facilitate the management of the files in
process. It is a great organizer too, as every single download can be
moved into a different folder, depending on its type. Plus, it has a rich
settings menu where you can change the way the program handles
certain file formats or the default download locations.
We tried the quick update function too, which worked like a breeze and
basically updated the application with just a single click. It all came
down to choosing whether to update or not, and the whole job was
done by the integrated updater that automatically downloaded the new
files and installed them on the computer.
The application encases all the features specific to a decent download
manager, including drag and drop support, a task scheduler, virus
protection, queue processor, HTTPS support, progressive downloading
with quotas, command line parameters, sounds, ZIP preview and proxy
servers.
The tests revealed that the CPU and memory footprint is minimal, but
this also depends on the download speed and the overall size of the
file.
Internet Download Manager is a must have application for many users
out there. It will prove itself essential for users who download large
files on a regular basis.
