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.

Version: Internet Download Manager 5.11 build 9
Pros: I'm not much for 5 star reviews but this program is as close any will ever get! It doubled my 6.0 DSL download speeds. It comes with great tech support, it's simple to use and reliable! It even organizes all downloads in it's own folder with sub-folders. I cant remember how many times the version has updated since I bought it last March but I can say it was a great investment. The free trial is nice. In 30 days you can download everything you need.
Cons: No cons for this program by me. It's much better then all the free download managers I've ever seen.

Version: Internet Download Manager 5.11 build 9
Pros: I have used this for a while now and have never had a single problem. It is really efficient and has saved me hours and hours of waiting for downloads. (Particularly useful in Australia where broadband download speeds are about as fast as a North American dial-up connection). Definitely one of the best investments I have ever made. Its simple to use and yet has a lot of sophistication if you want to get into tweakng it.
Cons: No compliants whatsoever.
