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.
Publisher's description
From Tonec :Internet Download Manager is a tool for increasing download speeds by up to 5 times, and for resuming, scheduling, and organizing downloads. The program will resume unfinished downloads due to network problems, or unexpected power outages. The program features a full-fledged site grabber that downloads files that are specified with filters, for example, all pictures from a Web site, different parts of web sites, or complete web sites for offline browsing. The program has an adaptive download accelerator for MP3 audio files, and MPEG video content processing. It integrates into Opera, Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and into any application that uses FTP, or HTTP protocols.
Version 5.03 build 2 adds support for MMS protocol, and a full-fledged site grabber that is unique for download managers and accelerators

Version: Internet Download Manager 5.03 build 2
Pros: Strong and reliable. It impresses me by the speech of download. I've never seen the higher speed than its.
Cons: Never let you hear music on website, you will be asked to download to your computer. It's really good if you only want to hear that music. However, if you just go around and try some new songs, it'll take you long time and a little inconvenient. I've found how to fix it but I think it may be hard to use for the amateur.

Version: Internet Download Manager 5.03 build 2
Pros: IDM actually speeds up download, I'm on dialup and before I installed IDM my download speed averages 2kbs-3kbs and max is 5kbs, but with IDM my download speed averages 5kbs-7kbs and max is 10kbs (that's already fast on dialup)!!!

"Use it to download what you don't know the link"
Pros: It supports download a part of the website. I use it to download a video clip that the link is hidden. Good.
