Internet Download Manager a review

[INDRANIL]

First of all I must say I'm not very much good in review. But I've tried to give a shot .

Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a tool to increase download speeds by up to 5 times, resume and schedule downloads. Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages. Simple graphic user interface makes IDM user friendly and easy to use.Internet Download Manager has a smart download logic accelerator that features intelligent dynamic file segmentation and safe multipart downloading technology to accelerate your downloads. Unlike other download managers and accelerators Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during download process and reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve best acceleration performance.



It has many features like Download Speed Acceleration, Advanced Browser Integration, Download Resume, Built-in Queue Manager and Scheduler, YouTube grabber, Download Categories, Customizable Interface and many more. I usually use 2 Mbps line and here the max download speed is ~230 KB/s but with idm it increases ~245 KB/s. It saves time and your effort too .

Built-in Queue Manager and Scheduler- IDM has Queue Manager and Scheduler feature. With the help of this feature you can set time, download the files you want, disconnect, or shut down your computer when it's done. Just simple add the url's and set the parameters.

Download Speed Acceleration - Internet Download Manager can accelerate downloads by up to 5 times due to its intelligent dynamic file segmentation technology. Unlike other download managers and accelerators Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically.

Advanced Browser Integration - The feature can be used to catch any download from any application. None of download managers have this feature. Internet Download Manager browser integration supports most of the browser's like firefox, internet explorer, chrome etc. This feature helps you downloading videos, songs by monitoring URL. You can download easily by this feature.

Download Resume- It supports Resume features like other download managers do. That means you can easily pause your download and do your essential work. After finishing the job you can again resume without any hesitation.

YouTube grabber - This features automatically finds youtube link for you. So you don't need to worry about the youtube download links. Even you don't need any third party downloader for the youtube.

Download Categories - This feature helps you to set category of your downloads. You can set manually category for the files & this will save your time too. You don't need to categorize the downloads later time.

Customizable Interface - This feature helps you to setup the order, buttons, and columns to appear on the main IDM window. There are different skins for the toolbar with different button styles. Also you can download more screens from IDM home site.

***** IDM supports main authentication protocols: Basic, Negotiate, NTLM, and Keberos.

***** IDM supports many types of proxy servers like Microsoft ISA, and FTP proxy servers.

Internet Download Manager supports proxy servers, ftp and http protocols, firewalls, redirects, cookies, authorization, MP3 audio and MPEG video content processing. IDM integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, MSN Explorer, AOL, Opera, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Firebird, Avant Browser, MyIE2, and all other popular browsers to automatically handle your downloads. You can also drag and drop files, or use Internet Download Manager from command line. Internet Download Manager can dial your modem at the set time, download the files you want, then hang up or even shut down your computer when it's done.

This one of top download manager so far . It has 30-day trial version you can evaluate, download it from [url=http://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/download.html]here. If you want more time buy a license. It costs about $29.95.
