Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
The name might not be the most creative, but the Internet Download Manager does exactly what it promises: helps you download and organize files. The best part is that you can schedule downloads and use filters to get the specific files you want.
The compact interface is packed with options, but the main features are easily accessed from a toolbar at the top. We would have liked to see a bit more user guidance up front, but a tutorial does cover the basics, and there is a more detailed Help file if you get stuck. You can also go the easier route with the program's integrated Web browser options, which work with nearly all of the most popular browsers, including Internet Explorer and Firefox. Each time the program recognizes a video in FLV format on a site like YouTube, you'll see a button, and it's one click and you're off and running. From the main interface, all you have to do is add the URL for a video to get started. A new window shows you the status and allows you to pause the recording and set up a few options for what to do with the file once the download completes. As advertised, the speed was good and we didn't have any issues with test files we downloaded, which included MP3s, FLVs, and MPEGs. Our favorite feature was the scheduler, which was easy to set up and lets you choose where and when the program will download files. We especially liked the fact that if you lose your Internet connection, the program will resume downloading your selected or scheduled files once everything's up and running again.
The download and installation of IDM was easy and fast, and it uninstalled cleanly. If you're looking for a program that you can basically set and forget to video downloads, this is a good option.

"THE download interface you have to have"
Version: Internet Download Manager 6.06 build 8
Pros
It's fast! It's user friendly; you can place files in multiple destinations and download them all in one action. Tons of upgrades. NO SPYWARE
Cons
None. This is my one and only download choice for the last 5 years.
Summary
I started with Download Accelerator, but the spyware and garbage that came with the software was truly frustrating. Enter IDM. I have had this program for over 5 years now and I cannot imagine using anything else for my downloads. In all the time I've owned IDM I've never encountered a lost download, and the resume function has saved several almost lost projects. I get speed, functionality and there are several other features that I haven't even mentioned here. This is a GET!

"Great Program - Fast and Easy To Use"
Version: Internet Download Manager 6.06 build 8
Pros
Fast
Program GUI easy to use
Full Working Demo to try everything out
Great bandwidth utilization manager (works great)
Ability to setup multiple queuesCons
It's not free in the long run. (after 30 days)
Once you pay, you only get one year of updates.Summary
I wish it was free, but it is a well built download manager that does just what you need it too. FLV link down-loader is cool too. Give this program a try it is worth your time because it will save you tons of time in the long run.
More on the bandwidth utilization manager, it helps you to line files up in a queue and then download files over time to help you not bog down your internet connection.
