Internet Download Manager is described as 'Accelerate your downloads by up to 8 times!
Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a download accelerator to increase download speeds by up to 8 times, resume, organize and schedule downloads' and is a very popular video downloader in the file sharing category. There are more than 100 alternatives to Internet Download Manager for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox apps. The best Internet Download Manager alternative is Xtreme Download Manager, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Internet Download Manager are Free Download Manager, JDownloader, DownThemAll and AB Download Manager.
I think that XDM is a very good alternative to IDM because it allows you to download videos on many sites other than YouTube (ENI platform, LinkedIn for example) like IDM does. On the other hand, IDM sometimes preserves the file name while XDM does not, which is annoying if you download a series of videos because you have to rename everything by hand. Translation FR OK.
