Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Don't let the dull name fool you: Internet Download Manager is a full-featured package that handles downloading tasks with aplomb. It conveniently integrates into your browser, even if you use Mozilla or Opera.
It automatically sorts incoming files by file type and puts them in the appropriate folder. Most importantly, it supercharges download speeds (it doubled ours). Its windowed interface is clean and easy to understand. Power users can take advantage of the command line interface to resume file transfers, schedule downloads, connect through dial-up, or log on to password-protected sites. Experienced users also can limit the number of connections, the download speeds for specific sites, and even create an exception list to block specific, user-defined sites.
Other features include automatic virus checking and the ability to download all files linked to a page. The new version has a Web spider that can analyze a site and retrieve, for example, all the images on it.
Internet Download Manager strikes us as a natural choice for users in need of a trusty transfer tool. Version 5.11 build 5 added FLV grabber that can be used to download videos from YouTube, Google Video, MySpaceTV, and other popular sites.

From Tonec :Internet Download Manager is a tool to increase download speeds by up to 500 percent, resume and schedule downloads. The program features an adaptive download logic accelerator, dynamic file segmentation and multipart downloading technology, and it reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages. Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages.

Smart in-speed technology dynamically adopts all settings to your particular connection type in order to maximize your download speed.
Internet Download Manager supports firewalls, proxy and mirror servers, FTP and HTTP protocols, redirects, cookies, download queues, directories with authorization, MP3 audio and MPEG video content processing and a large number of different server platforms. The program integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, MSN Explorer, Opera, and Mozilla to automatically handle your downloads.
