Publisher's description of Internet Download Manager 5.05 build 3
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 supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and MMS protocols. The program has an adaptive download accelerator for MP3 audio files, and MPEG video content processing. It integrates into Opera, Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and into any application that uses FTP, or HTTP protocols.
Version 5.05 build 3 adds extension based integration for Mozilla browsers including Firefox, Netscape and Flock. It also adds support for MMS protocol, and a full-fledged site grabber that is unique for download managers and accelerators.
Editor's review of Internet Download Manager 5.05 build 3
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.

Version: Internet Download Manager 5.05 build 3
Pros: It's just excellent, I tried other download managers and this one is the best.
Maybe it doesn't have a modern interface like DAP8 but it's so simple and easy to use.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY ABOUT IT:
My average download speed before using IDM was 105KB/sec, now it's 115KB/sec. I think this is not a little difference, I can really feel it.
I recommend it to everyone!
Cons: I think it should have different interface, like DAP8 has, that's all.

Version: Internet Download Manager 5.05 build 3
Pros: I download a lot and I've tried most DL managers. IDM is without doubt the best. It is the only one that significantly increased speed, and it takes over downloads that the others wouldn't touch.
Can't recommend it enough.
Cons: Doesn't have the ability to preview files (video, audio) but I asked the makers and they are looking into adding it at some point.

"This product is quite handy for internet downloading."
Pros: On my first installation, it would seem that I did not give it a fair chance, and I un-installed it. After reading a review of the product, I decided to try it again. The more I used it, the more I enjoyed the performance of the product. Compared to GetRight or FlashGet, IDM outshines and out performs. The configurations of IDM are quite simple, and the performance is outstanding. I would recommend IDM to anyone who needs to make regular downloads from the internet.
