Comments about Internet Download Manager as an Alternative to JDownloader

exyron
I really love IDM because it really worth the money i paid for, its allways updated, allows video download from sites that other ways are forbidden and classifies the files you download. I really wish it has another version for linux... but i love it anyway...

Very buggy and unstable (Chrome extension) and with every update, IDM is getting worse, like showing the wrong positions for downloading audio/videos!

XDM could download from websites where JDownloader couldn't (like a radio website), and vice versa; they are therefore two complementary programmes.

No automated downloading from hostings. Only a bit improved WGet, in fact it cannot even use parallel processing to mirror.

The program is as close as possible to jDownloader, without being a bloatware and being actually really fast with parallel downloads.

The only downside (for some only) is no automated downloading from hostings, which can be easily circumvented putting all URLs in a .txt file.
