As mentioned by others, it's a really neat and efficient program. I like how it automatically starts up my rapidshare downloads (with the purchase of a premium membership). Also, the best thing is that it can grab all the files from a specified website with specific file restrictions; this has saved me time and money.

it does not increase download very much and it stops downloading by itself
it doesn not worth its price

Great software
always use when downloading anything

This is the king of download managers (believe me, I have tried about 15 or more of them). Many others -especially the free ones, so watch out- are simply lies and do nothing but keep a list of programs you've downloaded, but there is no acceleration at all, or at least far less than they claim. Not so with IDM, it truly speeds up downloads by up to 500% (five times faster than without it). For those who might not know, it does this by breaking the file into segments, and downloading all the segments simutaneously, then putting the segments back together again. Other programs that happen to work basically do the same thing, but IDM does it more efficiently. The program also lets you set folders for organizing downloads by type (programs, archives, music, video, etc.) and you can create your own custom folders and types. When a download starts, you can do such useful things as change the default folder in which to save that download, change even the name of the file if you like, plus enter a full description for what you're downloading (very useful if you download as many programs as I do). There are a couple of other programs that allow this also, but here's where IDM distinguishes itself: while you're doing all this, IDM is already downloading the file! By the time you get done and click the "Start Download" button, there's a good chance that the download is already complete. This is a great timesaver, compared to other programs don't do anything until you actually click the button to start the download. This makes downloading with IDM "feel" even faster.
I have never encountered a problem with browser integration (it will take over downloads from ANY browser) and with extremely few exceptions, it is smart enough NOT to try to take over certain downloads (for instance, with Webshots photos, which MUST be downloaded with Webshots' own technology). Other than that, IDM is powerful, robust and stable as a rock. My only problem with it is that, although you can export your list of downloaded programs, the export doesn't include your descriptions, so if you import a long list of programs, and you have included such things as version numbers and the like in your description, that information will not be imported. This is a serious enough oversight for me to give it a "Very Good" rather than "Excellent" rating for features.
Otherwise, I consider it perfect, one of the few programs I can say I have no reservations about recommending strongly.

This is the best downloader for me I have been reviewed about setting the options of IDM as this [url=http://www.nsitez.net/nvillage/index.php?showtopic=4453]link[/url] but it shown in THAI Language

One of the best download managers i have ever used. it is so easy to use. its very effective. it really divides the files into patrs to speed up downloading. But i tried to keep the download basket on the desk top but i failed so i have to bush it every time i use idm. the programme needs more toolbars and more colours. the Options should be more detailed. i admit it's very useful.

I have tried so many download managers to find one with a good browser integration and this one is the best!

I've been using download managers since the first release of getright. It was the only one back then and now is very outdated despite the updates.

This program has very good aspects than has made it one of the best download managers out there. In my opinion it is the best! It does fragments your downloads into several parts which increases your download speed considerably. But the aspect that makes this atribute special is that it does it while you are downloading (dynamic fragmentaton). So if one part finishes before the olthers, the programs splits one of the slow fragments in order to keep the maximum speed. I haven't seen any problems what so ever during the completion of the files downloaded.

Aspects regarding catching browser links and clipboarded links work flawlessly as well.

On the other hand the program has matured throughout the years and has a very loyal user base. Certainly worth the download in my opinion and contains no spyware or major security flaw.

Happy Downloading ...

Can't say it worked, at all.

I think it is the best download manager. You fu_king lamers have no idea on how to use it.
Anyway... in the last 2 versions, 4.07 and 407.2 .. . it doesn`t let me update. I was using 4.06 and it didn`t let me update :P.
I had to redownload the installer. . whatever.. great program! It beats GetRight and Download Accelerator Plus.

To the first two reviewers : Dudes , there is life out there. Go get it!

Internet Download Manager is by far the best download tool out there. It catches almost everything having an inteligent(advanced) browser integration and clipboard monitoring. Also is very easy to set up. There is no such thing as spyware in this program.

To carlsson75, can you prove what you just said? That IDM tried to access your emails (?!?)

Actually, do you have any idea what you are talking about?

how the hell is editor pick??!??!?!! this is a spyware shit like all internet downloaders. This f....g program try to acces my outlook mails and mess up my internet connection

This sftwr available free at cjnet and on XP has slowed dwnld 30%, not worth the time.
