Internet Download
Manager is a powerful file transfer manager that promises to accelerate
downloads by up to 5 times. In addition, the application can also
restart interrupted downloads and integrate into a large number of
browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera.

Manager's interface is clean and well-organized, with large, stylish
buttons that facilitate the management of the files in process. It is a
great organizer too, as every single download can be moved into a
different folder, depending on its type. Plus, it has a rich settings
menu where you can change the way the program handles certain file
formats or the default download locations.
We tried the quick
update function too, which worked like a breeze and basically updated
the application with just a single click. It all came down to choosing
whether to update or not, and the whole job was done by the integrated
updater that automatically downloaded the new files and installed them
on the computer.
The application
encases all the features specific to a decent download manager,
including drag and drop support, a task scheduler, virus protection,
queue processor, HTTPS support, progressive downloading with quotas,
command line parameters, sounds, ZIP preview and proxy servers.
The tests revealed
that the CPU and memory footprint is minimal, but this also depends on
the download speed and the overall size of the file.
