Editor's review for Internet Download Manager

Let's face it - being able to safely and effectively download information from the internet today is a key feature that is the center point of most of our internet browsing experiences. Still, with regular site connectivity issues, download speed problems and connection discrepancies being able to quickly and effectively download some files can be a pain at best.

With the Internet Download Manager (IDM), however, being able to download your information quickly and effectively at any time can be a breeze. IDM software is one of the best ways to accelerate your download speeds on a wide range of sites up to five times faster than what you may normally expect to see otherwise.

Still, speed alone isn't everything in the download world. With the capability to schedule and resume downloads as well as scan all downloads with a comprehensive error recovery system to prevent broken files from occurring the IDM works to make sure that your computer is always working at its peak performance to download what you want when you want it. In addition to this is also has full support for many other features such a proxy servers to bypass some website blocks, ftp and http protocols for direct downloading, firewall and redirect handling, cookie and authorization management and even .mp3 and .mpeg content processing. This means that you can even download music and videos from websites such as YouTube, Google Video and MySapceTV.

While it's true that for most people built-in downloaders on browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer may be adequate for small file transfers, for any major processes having a reliable download manager is key. This is especially important if you don't like using many other P2P software alternatives available out there such as Torrent clients that, in some cases, may open up your machine to unwanted third party access if you're not careful.

Having a simple download manager such as IDM can help save you countless hours of frustration and headaches trying to get some files onto your machine quickly and safely, especially if you simply want to download one segment only of a compressed ZIP or RAR file and don't want to download the whole file just to get it (as IDM allows you to preview compressed documents and download accordingly).

Overall, it's worth a try - especially since it will cost the overall price of free to download and starting using its basic features today.
