The majority of internet users needs to download files to their computers and often these files are huge. When a file is not a simple PDF document and is a game for example, is recommended to use a special program named download manager. You can find many example of programs like this in appropriate category on our website freedownloadsplace.com

I have tested various programs and i can tell the IDM (short name for Internet Download Manager) is one of the best.

The program is easy to install, it has around 4MB size. So we will discuss a little about main features and advantages.

Features and use

The main interface is well designed, simple, with a lot of options, but easy to understand and access. I cannot say is the most easy to use from all similar programs, but if you take a few minutes to play in options, you can set really useful options.

With IDM you can download any video file from any web site. it has included add-ons for all major browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and others. A small icon will appear near the video and will offer the choice to save that video on your desktop. Youtube is supported too.

Is splitting the file in multiple parts and will download them simultaneously. After completion of all parts will join them in a single one. Is a very smart program.


Another features is the option to scan automatically each downloaded files against viruses. In this way you will be sure you cannot save a trojan or malware on your PC.

You can connect to Internet directly or if you use a proxy you can specify this in options. is available in multiple languages and you can read the menu in your native one.

The downloads can be paused and restarted without need it to grab it from the beginning. It has resume feature.

You can customize location on your hard disk to save different types of files to different folders. View unfinished and finished downloads.

IDM have a scheduler where you can start program, start download, shut down it at specific days and hours. You can set to turn off whole computer or just Internet Download Manager when action is ended.

Conclusion
What i really like at this program is the speed of download. Practically it starts to split and get files before you press on Save button, many times, for example in case of short Youtube videos, the file will be saved instantly.

What i do not like is the old design, but the software is useful, even does not have the latest design principles. You can use it free for 14 days, after that you must register it at Tonec web site.

In conclusion, Internet Download manager is one of the best and i recommend you to try it. Product page is here on our web site.
