Comment summary: Internet Download Manager (IDM) is praised for its download acceleration capabilities, significantly increasing download speeds. Users appreciate its strong integration with browsers like Chrome and Firefox, making it easy to capture and manage downloads. While it's considered the best for speed, some users find the user interface outdated and costly over time. IDM offers support in multiple languages and a notable privacy policy, making it a favored choice despite its lack of SFTP support and some UI limitations.

best video downloader on the market, but icons are ugly & outdated, download speed is good.

"IDM cannot download this protected stream for legal reasons." That is, the program itself says that in terms of extracting content, it is useless trash.

And if we consider it as a download manager (automatic sorting of downloaded files by folders), then there are free alternatives that are not inferior in any way.

What is Internet Download Manager?

IDM will also repair broken and resume interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages.

Powerful download engine Our powerful download engine uses unique algorithms to receive Internet data in a fastest possible way. IDM will accelerate downloads all times because of its innovative dynamic file segmentation technology. Unlike other download managers and accelerators, IDM segments downloaded files dynamically during download process, and it reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve the best possible acceleration performance. Our engineers have a lot of experience in download acceleration, and we constantly improve this download engine since 1999.

All popular browsers are supported IDM integrates seamlessly into Google Chrome, FireFox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, AOL, MSN, Maxthon and all other popular browsers. We develop browser extensions since 1999, and we have the best engineering solutions available today. IDM offers the installation of its extensions for Chrome, Firefox, old and new Edge, Opera and other browsers.

Download selected files with one click When several links are selected with a mouse in a browser, IDM will show "Download with IDM" button. You can also minimize this button in "Options?General tab?Customize download panel in browsers" IDM dialog.

Download files from your favorite web sites After installing "IDM integration module" browser extension, just continue surfing the Internet, and you will be amazed how easy is to download everything you want from your favorite web sites with IDM video download panel.

Built-in Scheduler Internet Download Manager can connect to the Internet at a set time, download the files you want, disconnect, or shut down your computer when it's done. You can also synchronize changes using periodic synchronization of files. It's possible to create and schedule several download queues for downloading or synchronization.
