DownThemAll VS Internet Download Manager
Comments about DownThemAll as an Alternative to Internet Download Manager
Comment summary: DownThemAll is frequently praised for its capabilities as a browser extension that works well with Firefox, but some users note its limitations compared to Internet Download Manager (IDM), which functions independently of browsers. While DownThemAll is regarded as user-friendly with good plugin support and constant updates, criticisms include it being limited to a web extension and being outdated at times. IDM is recognized for its broader scope and functionalities such as pausing, resuming, and accelerating downloads.Top Positive CommentSpaceOctopusIt does everything IDM does, but more - and it can handle file hosters much better, specifically premium ones that require accounts, or multi-account ones. It's just a lot easier to use. It has a great browser add-on, works with youtube, plugins, including one for unpacking archives, and is updated constantly. It's also free! If you want the version that isn't bundled with stuff, do a search for it, it exists on their on forum :)
Top Negative CommentDownloadThemAll is just a Firefox extension while Internet Download Manager is a complete software that works on all browsers
