Editors’ Review

Download.com staff

Neat Download Manager is a free download utility that handles file downloads with categorized control, browser integration, and bandwidth use management. It supports segmented downloading, proxy connections, and drag-and-drop convenience. With support for HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and proxies like SOCKS v4/v5, it routes downloads through secure paths. 

You can pause, resume, or re-download failed files, and use Neat Download Manager alongside Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge through extensions. Download popups, media detection, and file type sorting round out the functionality. It’s built for users who need structured downloads, with features grouped around accessibility, speed control, and browser-based access, without overcomplication.

Boost your downloads

Neat Download Manager splits downloads into multiple segments to help utilize your internet bandwidth more fully. This segment-based download method applies to all file types, including videos, ZIPs, ISOs, and audio files, which are all supported. You can also configure how many downloads run simultaneously, throttle bandwidth, or set limits for in-progress transfers. The segmented design supports pausing and resuming incomplete files without starting over.

It supports a proxy that includes HTTP and both SOCKS v4 and SOCKS v5 protocols. You can route download tasks through authenticated connections using credentials such as Basic, Digest, or NTLM login schemes. This setup enables the management of downloads over secure networks or limited-access internet gateways. It also works well for environments that require user identification before granting file access.

It integrates with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge through browser extensions that allow for automatic detection of downloadable content via pop-up. Supported file types include .ts video segments, MP3 audio, ZIP and RAR archives, and ISO disk images. You can also drag and drop links or files into the manager for manual organization. However, it has no support for torrent-based downloads.

Bottom Line

Focused features, no frills

Neat Download Manager provides structured download control with support for segmented transfers, proxy connections, and browser interaction. However, it does not support torrent-based downloads. Instead, it focuses on core downloading functions, detecting files, applying limits, managing queues, and maintaining access even when files fail or expire. It offers consistent file handling without overextending its feature set or introducing unnecessary tools.
