When IDM installs you can opt to also add an extension to your browser. One very cool feature of IDM, and one that could convince someone to install IDM for that alone, is the web video and audio downloader.

Unfinished downloads are set up in an easy to manage queue. Besides that, you can begin, pause, stop or schedule downloads as you wish. That's what won my admiration if you can imagine.

By the way, IDM creates a structure inside your Downloads folder. The main window shows a tree view of all your downloads, grouped into category folders. You can then start the download or postpone it for later. Once you access the download link, IDM pops up showing the exact download URL and then offering a suggested download location and the possibility to add a description. First of all, it takes precedence for anything you are downloading off with your browser. Internet Download Manager (IDM) has multiple benefits for the downloading person. Incidentally, today I stumbled upon a download accelerator that does much more than simple acceleration.Īlthough the name may remind you of an old joke about downloading the Internet, I assure you it's in fact a serious application. But that requires forming a habit and that means two weeks of intense concentration to which I am not yet ready to commit. Of course, I could start deleting downloads as soon as they're no longer needed or sort them into folders. Consequentially, when I do check it, I have to sort out from a huge list of images, installers, fonts, archives and folders. I am one who rarely checks the downloads folder.
