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 5.12 build 8
Pros: IDM is a very great and reliable software. It really boosts up your slow download speed. What's more, you can also use it to download songs on Myspace! I would recommend this to anyone as it is impossible for anyone to regret on it.
Cons: I can't seem to download Youtube videos but it didn't bother me so much because they are many alternatives. If you wanna download Youtube videos, there is a site which could convert the flv videos into mpeg,avi,and others and of course, lets you download it. For example: videocodezone(dot)com. I am not someone who is working for them to promote their site, I am just giving people some information. :))
