About Internet Download Manager (IDM)
Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a download manager for Windows from Tonec. It splits each file into several parts that download at the same time, which can make downloads faster, and it resumes downloads after a lost connection or a restart.
IDM works together with the main web browsers, so the files you click are passed to it automatically. Downloads can be sorted into categories, put in queues and scheduled.
IDM is paid software: you can use every feature free for 30 days, then buy a lifetime licence or a one-year licence.
