Publisher's description of Internet Download Manager 5.02 build 9
From Tonec:Internet Download Manager is a tool for increasing download speeds by up to 5 times, and for resuming, scheduling, and organizing downloads. The program will resume unfinished downloads due to network problems, or unexpected power outages. The program features a full-fledged site grabber that downloads files that are specified with filters, for example, all pictures from a Web site, different parts of web sites, or complete web sites for offline browsing. The program has an adaptive download accelerator for MP3 audio files, and MPEG video content processing. It integrates into any application that uses FTP, or HTTP protocols.
Version 5.02 build 9 adds a full-fledged site grabber.
Editor's review of Internet Download Manager 5.02 build 9
5.0 stars
- "Gracefully become a power downloader"
Don't let the dull name fool you: Internet Download Manager is a full-featured package that handles downloading tasks with aplomb. It conveniently integrates into your browser, even if you use Mozilla or Opera.
It automatically sorts incoming files by file type and puts them in the appropriate folder. Most importantly, it supercharges download speeds (it doubled ours). Its windowed interface is clean and easy to understand. Power users can take advantage of the command line interface to resume file transfers, schedule downloads, connect through dial-up, or log on to password-protected sites. Experienced users also can limit the number of connections, the download speeds for specific sites, and even create an exception list to block specific, user-defined sites.
Other features include automatic virus checking and the ability to download all files linked to a page. The new version has a Web spider that can analyze a site and retrieve, for example, all the images on it.
Internet Download Manager strikes us as a natural choice for users in need of a trusty transfer tool. Version 5.11 build 5 added FLV grabber that can be used to download videos from YouTube, Google Video, MySpaceTV, and other popular sites.

"Excellent utility, much better than Download Accelelator Plus 8."
Pros: The setup is easy, options at hand and simple to configure. The URL search worked a treat & I was downloading 700mb files within an hour. you can set a list of downloads, pause some and set your downloads to your own preferences. I had four files dowloading together, between 15mb, 8mb, 46mb and 60mb, you can set the download folder or leave the defaults. This program will be my next purchase.
Cons: I cannot fault this program after 2 weeks of use.

"great speed and excellent browser integration"
Pros: It integrated to Avant browser quickly and without any problems. IDM intercepts all links in my browser including redirects and password protected sites like rapidshare. And what is also very important, its download speed is great. I've never seen such speed with any other program that I tested here.
